USA, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, No. 00-428C, June 1, 2001 In exchange, T&G; provided a DC-7B to the Pima Air & Space Museum, an SNB-5 to Planes of Fame and a UH-19B to the Milestones of Flight museum at Fox Field. The aircraft, ultimately 22 C-130As and six P-3s, ended up being distributed to six contractors. Twelve of the C-130s came from the "ready-reserve national air fleet" stored at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, and 16 were retired from Air Force Reserve units and delivered to Pinal Airpark in Marana, Arizona, where they were processed out and transferred through the exchange program. As part of the deal, since Reagan acted as broker on behalf of the companies, he was paid a commission by them in the form of ownership of four of the C-130As, which he subsequently sold for personal profit.
