I heard a story about a C-141 I do not know if it is true or not, but it makes for a good tale.
When Lockheed went to stretch the C-141 there were two sections to install one in front of the wing and one behind the wing. They once accidental mix up the two sections and this one C-141 ended up have a center of gravity that was messed up.
Now this C-141 can't move cargo or people, it is only use for training.
Maybe there is someone out there that can back me up?
Like I said may be fake but makes a good story.

Like I said may be fake but makes a good story. It's fake. But truth is often stranger than fiction. It is true that more than a few Starlifter pilots dragged the tail on their first flights of the new stretch model. Took a little "recalibration" to remember that they needed to take-off and land with a little less angle of attack.
