Md. museum aims to bring rare military airplane home

The Hagerstown Aviation Museum is trying to bring a 55-year-old Fairchild airplane back to the western Maryland city where it was made.

President John Seburn says the twin-engine, C-123 cargo plane was built sometime between 1954 and 1958.

He says the U.S. Treasury Department has accepted the museum’s bid for the plane. Now the group needs to raise $70,000 to buy it and fly it back from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
