Preserved Aircraft
- C-1A C-1BuNo 136754 on static display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation, NAS Pensacola, Florida
- C-1A BuNo 136790 on static display at the Grissom Air Museum, Grissom ARB (former Grissom AFB), Indiana
- C-1A BuNo 136792 on static display at the Quonset Air Museum, (former NAS Quonset Point), North Kingston, Rhode Island. This aircraft was modified with the Grumman E-1 Tracer type radome assembly (but no radar) and twin tails and served (under the designation XTF-1W) as the aerodynamic prototype for the E-1. After testing, it reverted to the transport role, (as C-1A) with radome removed but retaining the twin tails. Throughout, this aircraft retained the S-2/C-1 upward folding wings, not the E-1 wing fold which were necessitated (by the radome atop the fuselage) to fold wings back along the sides of the fuselage.

- C-1A BuNo 146036 on display on the USS Midway Museum, San Diego, California,

Famous quotes containing the word preserved:
“But at my back I always hear
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity:
And your quaint honor turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
