Default Wendover AFB, January 2010 (with Conair prop)


Dang - missed the last picture, so misunderstoof the steering wheel
comment...

Oh, hell - forget ~everything~ in the previous post...

This aircraft is actually C-123K AF56-4361, and was the aircraft used
for ground taxi scnenes in 'Con Air'. It had a diesel engine mounted
in the nose and a bus transmission; hence the steering wheel. Hath
Hollywood no shame?
