| Roger Wyckoff , PA | Possibly your last chance to see a flying C-119C Flying Boxcar.
Hagerstown Aviation Museum in Hagerstown, MD has received a donation of a 1953 Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar. They plan to fly it to Hagerstown in October. Check their website for any changes, or additional info. It was with the Canadian Air Force and has a jet pack attached. It also has a civilian reg. N8093. There is a photo of this C-119 at the bottom of this page, among the photos submitted. Roger Wyckoff 04/08/2007 @ 10:48 [ref: 16136] |
| LEE , IA | I am trying to find a picture and name of the cargo planes that took off across the street from us at Hickam AFB when we lived In Navy Housing 1955-56. I called them "pregnant ducks" because they were so huge and fat. I know they carried jeeps and troops. 02/28/2006 @ 18:08 [ref: 12656] |
| Charles Wilkins Mesa, AZ | I grew up in Hemet, CA. Our airport was the fire bomber base for the Forest Service and CDF.(FS has moved their base to the old Norton AFB) It was very nice to go out to the Pima Air & Space Museum and see a fire bomber from my home town. I may have even seen this aircraft at work fighting fire. 12/11/2005 @ 01:44 [ref: 11946] |

| Berry A.Price Manassas, VA | I was assigned to the 463rd Jan.'53,at which time
it was only 7 regular AF there and the reserve unit was activated.I became one of the first Flight Mechanics assigned to the C119.I remained with the 463rd through the move to Ardmore and stayed there until discharged Feb.29,'56. I have many memories of those days,the first days of the 463rd. Oh by the way all of my time was with the 772nd.I had the honor to fly with Gen Childress on 3 occasions while I was a Flight Mechanic. I would appreciate hearing from any one that was assigned to the 463rd during 1953 through 1956.
