EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the grace and power of a Grumman C-1A Trader aircraft, specifically United States Navy serial number 136791, assigned to VR-30 (base code RW, call sign 791), as it sits on the tarmac at Alameda Naval Air Station on November 4, 1967. The Grumman C-1 Trader is a versatile twin-engine transport aircraft that was originally designed for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps for the transport of personnel and cargo. It first flew in 1956 and remained in service until the late 1990s. In this image, the C-1A Trader is shown in its military livery, with the distinctive red and white stripes of the United States Navy adorning its fuselage. The aircraft's twin engines are visible at the wings, ready to power the plane into the air for its next mission. The photograph was taken at Alameda Naval Air Station, which was a major base for the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard from 1940 until its closure in 1997. The base was located in Alameda, California, and was an important hub for naval aviation in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Grumman C-1A Trader played a crucial role in the United States Navy's fleet, providing essential transport capabilities for personnel and cargo. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era in naval aviation history, capturing the elegance and power of a classic military aircraft in its element.
