EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a United States Air Force Fairchild C-82A Packet with the serial number 45-57792 (MSN 10162, base code CQ, call sign 792). The image, believed to have been taken around 1950, captures the essence of the era as the versatile military transport aircraft sits on the tarmac, ready for its next mission. The Fairchild C-82A Packet was a twin-engine, single-piston, short-range transport aircraft, primarily used for cargo and personnel transport during the Korean War. This specific aircraft, 45-57792, was eventually transferred from the military to the civil registry, where it was registered as N74044. However, it did not go on to be used by Fairchild Hiller Corporation under the registration N6845A. The C-82A Packet was known for its distinctive appearance, with its high wings, tail-dragger configuration, and large cargo doors. Despite its military background, this photograph is a testament to the aircraft's timeless design and the rich history of aviation during the mid-20th century. The United States Air Force's Fairchild C-82A Packet, 45-57792, stands as a symbol of the country's military prowess and its commitment to advancing aviation technology during a pivotal period in history.
