Fairchild C-119 "Flying Boxcar"

As a transport aricraft enthusiast, this ranks as on eof the most interesting planes (among an extraordinary group) this year. There aren't many C-119 around, and to have one fly over to an airshow is really great (but then, isn't that what Oskosh is really all about?).

This plane is owned by the The Museum of Flight and Aerial Firefighting. They also own an even more rare C-82 "Packet", that they brought to the 1997 EAA Convention.

A note about the photographs: if a thumbnail picture is a link, clicking on it will load an image approximately 500x300 pixels large (~60Kb). Under some thumbnails is the word "huge". Clicking there will load the original scanned image of about 800x500 pixels at JPEG 75% quality (~200Kb).
