EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Fairchild C-82A Packet aircraft with the registration number N4833V, which holds an intriguing history. Originally built as a Fairchild C-82A-20-FA Packet, with the manufacturing serial number 10075 and military serial number 44-23031, this plane was delivered to the Wiley Electronics Company in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1954. The fuselage of this aircraft gained significant recognition when it was featured in the 1965 film "The Flight of the Phoenix." After its time with Wiley Electronics, the plane was sold to Fairchild Hiller Corporation in 1967, where it was given the registration number N6850A.
