EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Douglas C-133B Cargomaster, registration N2276V (msn 45582m, ex-59-0531), in storage at Tucson International Airport, Arizona, circa 1995. The C-133B Cargomaster was a military transport aircraft, designed and manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company. It was a versatile and powerful aircraft, capable of carrying large and heavy cargo loads, as well as being configured for aerial refueling and medical evacuation missions. The Cargomaster in this image bears the distinctive markings of the 60th Military Airlift Wing, which was based at McChord Air Force Base in Washington State. The aircraft was retired from military service and sold for civil use in the late 1980s, but this particular aircraft never entered commercial service. Instead, it was acquired by The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, a renowned aviation museum and archive. The image captures the Cargomaster in a state of repose, its powerful engines silent, and its cargo bay doors open, revealing the cavernous interior that once held valuable military cargo. The desert landscape and blue sky in the background add to the sense of tranquility and nostalgia, as the Cargomaster waits patiently for its next mission or restoration project. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of aviation history and the importance of preserving iconic aircraft like the Douglas C-133B Cargomaster for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection continues to add to its impressive collection of historic aircraft, ensuring that the stories and legacy of aviation are kept alive for all to enjoy.
