EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Air Force Thunderbirds and their support aircraft, a C-119F Flying Boxcar with the serial number 51-8166 (msn 169), during the team's formation aerobatic displays between 1954 and 1959. The C-119F, also known as the Flying Boxcar, served a crucial role in supporting the Thunderbirds' aerial performances. Converted from a standard C-119 to a C-119G between 1955 and 1957, this specific Flying Boxcar was outfitted with various modifications to accommodate the team's needs. These upgrades included additional fuel tanks, radio equipment, and seating for observers. After the Thunderbirds' tenure, this C-119F was transferred to the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) in 1969. The Flying Boxcar played a significant role in the aviation history of both the United States Air Force and the ROCAF. This photograph, taken circa 1955, is a fascinating glimpse into the past of formation aerobatics and the crucial role support aircraft played in ensuring the success of such displays. The C-119F Flying Boxcar remains an essential part of aviation and aeronautical history, showcasing the innovation and ingenuity of the time.
