Northrop YC-125A Raider N2571B (msn 2517, ex 48-633) in Storage Surrounded by Snow in New Mexico, Circa 1960 This evocative photograph captures the Northrop YC-125A Raider N2571B (msn 2517, ex 48-633) in storage during the winter months in New Mexico. The Northrop YC-125A Raider was a military transport aircraft developed by Northrop Aircraft in the late 1940s and early 1950s. This particular aircraft, N2571B, was originally delivered to the United States Air Force as 48-633 in 1953. By the late 1950s, the aircraft had been transferred to Frank Ambrose Aviation, a private aviation company. In this image, we see the Raider sitting quietly in a snowy storage area, its wings and tail fin coated in a thick layer of white. The desolate landscape and stillness of the scene add to the sense of history and nostalgia. The Northrop YC-125A Raider was a versatile aircraft, capable of carrying large payloads and long ranges. It was used for various military applications, including cargo transport, medical evacuation, and even as a flying command post. Despite its impressive capabilities, the Raider was eventually replaced by more modern aircraft, and many were eventually sold for civilian use. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of aviation history, a time when large propeller-driven transport aircraft were the backbone of military and civilian aviation. The Northrop YC-125A Raider N2571B, now a relic of the past, sits patiently in the snow, a reminder of the important role it played in the history of flight.
