Summary

[edit]
Description The single U.S. Air Force Convair XC-99 (s/n 43-52436), a prototype heavy cargo aircraft, which first flew on 23 November 1947. In 1953, an AN/APS-42 weather radar with its distinctive “thimble” radome (the black dome on the nose of the aircraft) was installed. The spectators are looking into the cargo bay, which used a special hoist to load cargo.
