EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Air Force's (USAF) Stroukoff YC-134 52-1627, a groundbreaking aircraft that graced the tarmac of Naval Air Station Moffett in 1959. Originally delivered to the USAF as a YC-123B, this aircraft underwent significant modifications by Stroukoff Aircraft Corporation, transforming it into the innovative YC-134. The YC-134 was initially based at Trenton Air Force Base before being transferred to Edwards Air Force Base for extensive testing. Subsequently, it was sent to Fairchild Air Force Base for trials with the J44 jet boost system. During this period, the aircraft was outfitted with new Wright R-3350-89A engines and boundary layer control systems. However, it did not receive the Pantobase landing gear, which was a distinctive feature of later versions of the Stroukoff YC-134. The 1950s, a decade of significant advancements in aviation technology, saw the emergence of this remarkable aircraft. The YC-134 represented a significant step forward in military transport capabilities, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in aircraft design. This photograph captures a moment in time when the future of military aviation was being shaped, as the YC-134 stood proudly on the runway, ready for its next mission.
