• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Douglas C-124 Restortion and flight

Another rare VHS tape appears after nearly three decades sitting in a cabinet somewhere. Apparently the video was shot and narrated by a gentleman named Larry Rengstorf in the fall of 1983.

Following 10 years sitting in "the old aircraft field," a year of active maintenance, and the purchase of five Pratt-Whitney R-4360s engines, this rare Douglas C-124 Globemaster II is readied for a ferry flight across the country back in 1983. The aircraft now resides at the Jimmy Doolittle Museum at Travis AFB, California.

 
Interesting how the ramps extend through the front clam shell doors.

I've transited through Travis AFB a few times coming home from overseas, but I've never been to the museum there. If I ever get down that way again I'll have to put it on the itinerary.
