Boneyard Safari
Preserving Aviation HIstory

C-123 Provider began in glider form with its predecessor, the Chase XCG-20. The vertical stabilizer has more of a slope and of course it is being towed. #c123 #xcg20 #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Part of the resupply of Khe Sanh involved LAPES drops of supplies from aircraft as they were flying low over of the runway. The pallet of cargo had two parachutes, a drogue chute which pulled the extraction chute out the back of the aircraft, which pulled the cargo out. #khesanh #c130 #lapes #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Looks back at an F-86A on the Ames ramp in front of hangar 211 in 1955 flying for NACA. #nasa #f86 #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

For the Sea King lovers, check out the NH-3A (S-61F) was an experimental high-speed compound helicopter tested in the 1960’s. #nh3a #seaking #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

NACA Ames Research Center's 6x6ft Supersonic Wind Tunnel compressor, showing rotor blades in 1949, that’s incredible! #nasa #nasaames #windtunnel #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

More wind tunnel test at NASA, researchers set up instrumentation on a 0.037- scale model of a Saturn booster in the 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel at the NASA Lewis Research Center. In October 1960 Lewis researchers John Allen and Robert Wasko began a 14-month investigation of the eight-engine booster’s base heating in the tunnel. The model resembled the Saturn C-1, but only the afterbody totally mimicked the C-1. #saturnv #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari #spacesaf
