Roberto Alaniz	General	Excellent photo.	6/6/2014 10:24:14 PM

Fred Stuckmann	General	My oh my, what a shot.	6/9/2014 9:15:40 AM

Mike Woodruff	General	This is an excellent photo! I would place the date somewhere in the 1966-1969 time frame. The C420s delivered in 12/63 introduced this paint scheme, so no RS1 would have received it before early 1964. These units look pretty grungy here, and the blue and yellow MTA scheme was first applied to them in about 1970.	1/22/2020 9:38:29 PM
