Default Re: How bout a few Vintage aircraft photos?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 427TJ</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I have a bunch of good airplane photos too. Here's the one and only Convair XC-99 transport at its home base of Kelley AFB in about 1950. My dad was a young enlisted man when the XC-99 first arrived at Kelley and said that when it landed, with its original single wheel main landing gear, that it broke through the asphalt as it taxied in. It was updated with multi-wheel mains soon after. It remained at Kelley after its 1955 retirement but has been moved to Dayton for restoration and eventual display at the USAF Museum. The XC-99 is a derivative of the B-36 bomber.

Just beyond the XC-99 is a Boeing YC-97 (early short B-29 style tail and R-3350 engines) and two B-29s.
