Very, very nice.

Great photo of a C-97 dressed for winter.

It's actually a C-124 Globemaster.

"30048" is the USAF serial number/registration number for this aircraft. It is not an "N" number and the letter "N" should not precede the number.

Paul... actually the "30048" is only the USAF "tail number", which was derived from the assigned USAF s/n. In the case of this aircraft, that USAF s/n is 53-048.

Joe Baugher's published information indicates this Douglas C-124C Globemaster II was Douglas c/n (MSN) 44343, adding that it went "to MASDC as CQ270 Apr 2, 1972".

That "N30048" is a result of the photo uploader entering "30048" into the registration box on FlightAware's data entry screen during the photo upload process. The "N" is automatically inserted by FlightAware... Vincent didn't do that. If you had ever uploaded any USAF military aircraft photos, you would have run into this FA "glitch".

Nice photo of aircraft on the ice runway early in the season. I spent three years on the continent flying ski equipped C-130s (navigator) in the Navy's VXE-6 Antarctic Development Squadron.

Flew one of these from Van Nuys ANG Base to McClellan AFB made emergency landing (Andrews hooked up the Avionics incorrectly) in Utah, then again in Nebraska,, then finally landed an entire day late at Andrews AFB. Blew tires when landing at Andrews. Thank heavens GA ANG Had spare tires. But other than rotted tires and blown Avionics it was an OK flight. The ANG flight crews were terrific.

FlightAware does not put an "N" in front of the number you enter. I have over 750 military photos posted and the numbers , no letters, range from 4 numbers to 7 numbers and they have never put an N in front of any of my photos.

A tailblazer! Forerunner of the 747.

FlightAware should have plenty of computer gurus to correct the automatic insertion of letter N whener a tail number is typed in, it should not be a big deal.

Very nice posting - I used to see these weekly at Boeing Field Seattle late 50s to 1964 when we moved to California,,these suckers were loud and when they departed, you could hear them for miles after they left south out of Boeing. I bet they were 'shaky'.. surprised FA does not have a 3 letter for McMurdo Sound! jk!

I was knee high to a grasshopper when my Dad took me out to CHC airport on an open day - still have the photo taken in front of one of these! Remember these and the Neptune's and have seen a whole array of aircraft since! Times have changed but gone are the good ole' days of VXE-6.
