EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the PENN Air National Guard's Fairchild C-119J Flying Boxcar, specifically aircraft number 51-8167 (msn 170), which is seen here at Reading, Pennsylvania in May 1960. Delivered to the United States Air Force as a Kaiser-Frazer C-119F-KM Flying Boxcar, this military transport plane was later converted to a C-119J model and subsequently redesignated as an MC-119J around 1961. The C-119J, also known as the Flying Boxcar, was a versatile military cargo and troop transport aircraft, renowned for its short takeoff and landing capabilities. This particular aircraft, operated by the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this iconic military aircraft. The image captures the essence of the era, with the PENN Air National Guard emblem proudly displayed on the fuselage, and the aircraft's distinctive shape and markings standing out against the backdrop of the tarmac.
