The Air Guard Museum’s C-45G Expeditor was assigned to the 133rd Air Base Group in the late 1940s. The C-45 served the 133rd as a utility transport and remained in the inventory until early 1960. When the 109th Squadron was transferred to the Military Air Transport Service and was assigned C-97s it no longer needed the C-45.
