            Armstrong-Whitworth AW.650 Argosy (c/n 6651/101)
Management Jets International
Anchorage-International (ANC/PANC)
23 June 1986

Built for BEA in 1957 as the first of a total of 74 Argosies constructed, this unique, twin boom four-engined transport aircraft was acquired by Universal Airlines in 1968 as N896U.

In 1973 it was acquired by Management Jets International, who operated it as N886U for the Alaska Bureau of Land Management. As such it was seen parked at Anchorage, still in Universal colours.

The Alaska BLM used the Argosy until late 1991, when it was donated to the Yankee Air Force Museum for display.
