T-6 TEXAN – History

The North American Aviation T-6 Texan was a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots of the United States Army Air Forces, United States Navy, Royal Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II and into the 1950s. Designed by North American Aviation, The T-6 is known by a variety of designations de- pending on the model and operating air force. The USAAC designated it as the “AT-6”, the US Navy the “SNJ”, and British Commonwealth air forces, the Harvard, the name it is best known by outside of the United States. It remains a popular warbird aircraft. The Texan originated from the North Ame- rican NA-16 prototype (first flown on April 1, 1935) which, modified as the NA-26, was submitted as an entry for a USAAC “Basic Combat” aircraft competition in March, 1937. The first model went in to production and 180 were supplied to the USAAC as the BC-1 and 400 to the RAF as the Harvard I. The US Navy received 16 modified aircraft, designated the SNJ-1, and a further 61 as the SNJ-2 with a different engine.

DOUGLAS DC-3 – History

The Douglas DC-3 is an American fixed-wing, propeller- driven aircraft whose speed and range revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s. Because of its lasting im- pact on the airline industry and World War II, it is generally regarded as one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made. The DC-3 was engineered by a team led by chief engineer Arthur E. Raymond and first flew on December 17, 1935 (the 32nd anniversary of the Wright Brothers flight at Kitty Hawk). The aircraft was the result of a marathon phone call from American Airlines CEO Cyrus Smith to Donald Dou- glas requesting the design of an improved successor to the DC-2. With only three refuelling stops, eastbound transcon- tinental flights across the US taking approximately 15 hours became possible. Westbound trips took 17 hours 30 minutes due to typical prevailing headwinds - still a significant im- provement over the competing Boeing 247. Before the arrival of the DC-3, such a trip would entail short hops in commuter aircraft, during the day, coupled with train travel overnight.

North American F-86 – History

The North American F-86 Sabre, sometimes called the Sabrejet, was a transonic jet fighter aircraft. Produced by North American Aviation, the Sabre is best known as the United States‘ first swept wing fighter which could coun- ter the similarly-winged Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dog- fights over the skies of the Korean War (1950–1953). Consi- dered one of the best and most important fighter aircraft in that war, the F-86 is also rated highly in comparison with fighters of other eras. Although it was developed in the late 1940s and was outdated by the end of the ‚50s, the Sabre proved versatile and adaptable, and continu- ed as a front-line fighter in numerous air forces until the last active operational examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.

DOUGLAS DC-9 – History

The first flight of the YC-130 prototype was made on August 23, 1954 from the Lockheed plant in Burbank, California. The aircraft, serial number 53-3397, was the second prototype but the first of the two to fly. The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop cargo aircraft and the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. Over 40 models and variants of the Hercules serve more than 50 nations. On December 2006 the C-130 was the third aircraft (after the English Electric Canberra in May 2001 and the B-52 Stratofortress in January 2005) to mark 50 years of continuous use with its original primary customer (in this case the United States Air Force). Capable of short takeoffs and landings from unprepared runways, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medical evacuation and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship, and for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refuelling and aerial fire-fighting. The Hercules family has the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history. During more than 50 years of service the family has participated in military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations.

BOEING 727 – History

The Boeing 727 is an American mid-size, narrow-body, three-engine, T-tailed commercial jet airliner. The first Boeing 727 flew in 1963 and for over a decade itwas the most produced commercial jet airliner in the world. When production ended in 1984, a total of 1,831 aircraft had been produced.[1] The 727’s sales record for the most jet airliners ever sold was broken in the early 1990s by its younger stablemate, the Boeing 737. The 727 was produced following the success of the Boeing 707 quad-jet airliner. Designed for short-haul routes, the 727 became a mainstay of airlines’ domestic route networks. A stretched variant, the 727-200, debuted in 1967. In August 2008, there were a total of 81 Boeing 727-100 aircraft and 419 727-200 aircraft in airline service.

BOEING 747 – History

The Boeing 747, commonly nicknamed the “Jumbo Jet”, is a long-haul wide body commercial airliner manufactured by Boeing. Known for its impressive size and its signature hump on top, it is among the world’s most recognizable aircraft. First flown commercially in 1970, it held the passenger capacity record for 35 years and was the first commercial wide-body aircraft. The 747 was born from the explosion of air travel in the 1960s. The era of commercial jet transporta- tion, led by the enormous popularity of the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8, had revolutionized long distance travel. Boe- ing had already developed a study for a very large fixed- wing aircraft while bidding on a US military contract for a huge cargo plane. Even before it lost the contract to Lockheed’s C-5 Galaxy in September 1965 Boeing came under pressure from Juan Trippe, president of its most loyal airline customer Pan Am, to build a giant passenger plane that would be over twice the size of the 707. The four-engine 747, produced by Boeing’s Commercial Airplane unit, uses a double decker configuration for part of its length. A typical three-class layout accommodates 416 passengers, while a two-class layout accommodates a maximum of 524 passengers. The hump created by the upper deck has made the 747 a highly recognizable icon of air travel. The 747 was expected to become ob- solete after sales of 400 units but it outlived many of its critics’ expectations and production passed the 1,000 mark in 1993. As of the end of 2006, 1380 planes had been built with 120 more in various configurations on order. The latest incarnation of the aircraft will be the 747-8.

LOCKHEED SUPER CONSTELLATION – History

The Lockheed Constellatio, arguably the most graceful and beautiful airliner ever built, celebrated its 60th birthday in 2003. Conceived by Howard Hughes in the late 1930’s, the Constellation represented the ultimate in airline perfor- mance and luxury during the 1950’s with 856 being built for commercial and military customers. At the end of the 40’s with rapid increase in the use of flight airlines demanded larger aircraft. With this demand in 1950 the already long Constellation was stretched by a further 5.60 meters to make the Constellation L-1049. Quickly replaced on frontline service by jet airliners in the 1960’s, there are at least fifty- five “survivors” of the mass scrappings of the 1960’s and 70’s, and with two still flying regularly on the airshow circuit.

DOUGLAS DC-6 – History

The Douglas DC-6 is a piston-powered airliner and transport aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company from 1946 to 1959. Originally intended as a military transport near the end of World War II, it was reworked after the war to compete with the Lockheed Constellation in the long-range transport market. More than 700 were built and many still fly today in cargo, military and wildfire control roles. The DC-6 was known as the C-118 Liftmaster in United States Air Force service, and as the R6D in United States Navy service. The United States Army Air Forces commissioned the DC-6 project as the XC-112 in 1944. The Air Force wanted an expanded pressurized version of the popular C-54 Skymaster transport with improved engines. By the time the XC-112 flew the war was over and the USAAF had rescinded its requirement. Douglas converted its prototype into a civil transport (redesigned YC-112A having significant differences from subsequent production DC-6 aircraft) and delivered the first production DC-6 in March of 1947. However, a series of mysterious in-flight fires (including the fatal crash of United Airlines Flight 608) grounded the DC-6 fleet later that year. The cause was found to be a fuel vent located adjacent to the cabin cooling turbine intake. All DC-6’s in service were modified to correct the problem and the fleet was flying again after just four months on the ground. The military renewed its interest in the DC-6 during the Korean War and commissioned a number of aircraft that later found their way into civilian service. Harry Truman’s first presidential aircraft was an Air Force VC-118 called “The Independence” and Pan Am used a DC-6 aircraft, starting in 1952, to inaugurate its first Trans-Atlantic tourist class flights.

DASSAULT/DORNIER ALPHA JET – History

The Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet is a light at- tack jet and advanced trainer aircraft co- manufactured by Dornier of Germany and Dassault-Breguet of France. In the early 1960s, Euro- pean air forces began to consider their requirements for the coming decades. One of the results was the emer- gence of a new generation of jet trainers to replace such classic aircraft as the Lockheed T-33 and Fouga Magis- ter. The two main rivals in this exercise turned out to be the BAe Hawk and the Franco-German Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet. At the outset, the Alpha Jet had a lead, but the BAe Hawk would prove to be the winner in the race. However, the Alpha Jet has been built in good numbers and served with a number of air forces for several decades. The first French prototype performed its first flight at Istres on 26 October 1973, with the first German prototype following from Oberpfaffenhofen on January 9, 1974. The remaining two prototypes were in the air before the end of 1974. The French Air Force decided to use the Alpha Jet primarily as a trainer, and the first production Alpha Jet for the French performed its first flight on 4 November 1978. Manufacture of Alpha Jet subassemblies was divided between France and Germany, with plants in each country performing final assembly and checkout. The four prototypes remained in service as testbeds, for example evaluating a composite graphite-epoxy wing and improved Larzac engine variants. The different avionics fit makes French and German Alpha Jets easy to tell apart, with French machines featuring a rounded-off nose and German machines featuring a sharp, pointed nose.

By the time the XC-112 flew the war was over and the USAAF had rescinded its requirement. Douglas converted its prototype into a civil transport (redesigned YC-112A having significant differences from subsequent production DC-6 aircraft) and delivered the first production DC-6 in March of 1947. However, a series of mysterious in-flight fires (including the fatal crash of United Airlines Flight 608) grounded the DC-6 fleet later that year. The cause was found to be a fuel vent located adjacent to the cabin cooling turbine intake. All DC-6’s in service were modified to correct the problem and the fleet was flying again after just four months on the ground. The military renewed its interest in the DC-6 during the Korean War and commissioned a number of aircraft that later found their way into civilian service. Harry Truman’s first presidential aircraft was an Air Force VC-118 called “The Independence” and Pan Am used a DC-6 aircraft, starting in 1952, to inaugurate its first Trans-Atlantic tourist class flights.

DOUGLAS DC-3 – History

The Douglas DC-3 is an American fixed-wing, propeller- driven aircraft whose speed and range revolutionized air transport in the1930s and 1940s. Because of its lasting im- pact on the airline industry and World War II, it is generally regarded as one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made. The DC-3 was engineered by a team led by chief engineer Arthur E. Raymond and first flew on December 17, 1935 (the 32nd anniversary of the Wright Brothers flight at Kitty Hawk). The aircraft was the result of a marathon phone call from American Airlines CEO Cyrus Smith to Donald Dou- glas requesting the design of an improved successor to the DC-2. With only three refuelling stops, eastbound transcon- tinental flights across the US taking approximately 15 hours became possible. Westbound trips took 17 hours 30 minutes due to typical prevailing headwinds - still a significant im- provement over the competing Boeing 247. Before the arrival of the DC-3, such a trip would entail short hops in commuter aircraft, during the day, coupled with train travel overnight.

The first C-119 made its initial flight in November 1947, and by the time production ceased in 1955, more than 1,100 C-119s had been built. Its cargo hauling ability earned it the nickname “Flying Boxcar”.

DOUGLAS C-133 CARGOMASTER – History

The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster was a large cargo aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company between 1956 and 1961; 50 aircraft were constructed and put into service with the USAF. The C-133 had large tail doors and side doors and a large, open cargo area. With the C-133B, the rear cargo doors were modified to open to the side (petal doors), ma- king an opening large enough to transport ballistic missiles such as the Atlas, Titan and Minuteman more cheaply, sa- fely and quickly than road transport. Several hundred Mi- nuteman and other ICBMs were airlifted to and from their operational bases. The C-133 was for many years the only aircraft capable of hauling very large or very heavy cargo.
