[Note the elapsed times to cover every five degrees!]
This aircraft started life with Pan American World Airways as a standard Boeing Stratocruiser, "Clipper Fleetwing" in 1949. It was later bought by Aero Spacelines in 1963 and converted to a Mini Guppy using parts from N411Q (Transocean Air Lines), that first flew on 24th May 1967. It was titled "The Spirit of Santa Barbara". In 1981 it was re-registered as N422AJ with American Jet Industries and later, in 1981 as N422AU. It ended its days with Erickson Air Crane in 1989 and was finally stored at their museum in Tillamook, Oregon (see image below).

Interestingly, it was noted at London Heathrow on 5th November 1969 (a few days before my report) after delivering a new nose section to a TWA Boeing 707-331B (N776TW) that was damaged following a hijack attack at Damascus, while en route from Rome to Athens on 29th August 1969 as TW840.
