The CT-39A 'Sabreliner' is based on the Rockwell 40 commercial aircraft. The museum's CT-39A, serial number 62-4465, was the command aircraft of the late General Jerome O'Malley, commanding officer of the Tactical Air Command. The museum's T-39 was removed from the Air Force inventory and flown to the museum at March Air Force Base in May 1985. General O'Malley was killed in a landing crash of another T-39 in Scranton, PA, in April, 1985. This aircraft is on loan from the USAF.
