EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Douglas C-124C Globemaster II with the registration number N86599 (msn 43903, 52-0994), which was once a proud asset of the United States Air Force. After being retired from military service, this historic aircraft was acquired by the Detroit Institute of Aeronautics. The image, believed to have been taken around 1990, captures the Globemaster II as it was being prepared for its final journey to McChord Air Museum in Washington State. The Douglas C-124C Globemaster II, a military transport aircraft, was renowned for its versatility and ability to carry large payloads over long distances. This particular aircraft, O-20994, served the US Air Force with distinction before its retirement. As the last ever flight of a C-124 is believed to have taken place on October 9, 1986, when it was flown from an unknown location to McChord Air Base, this photograph is a poignant reminder of the end of an era in aviation history. Now, the Douglas C-124C Globemaster II N86599 is proudly displayed at McChord Air Museum, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history of military aviation. The aircraft's impressive size and design are a testament to the engineering prowess of its time, and serve as a reminder of the significant role it played in shaping the future of air transportation.
