Laying the foundation: Site development continuing for C-119 ‘Flying Boxcar’
Atterbury-Bakalar Air Museum volunteers, along with workers and equipment donated from Force Construction Co. Inc., are making progress on a display site for a restored C-119 “Flying Boxcar” aircraft the museum purchased last year.
The 40,000-pound plane, which is not airworthy, was taken apart several months ago at an airport in Greybull, Wyoming, where the aircraft’s parts were loaded on to trucks and driven 1,460 miles to the Columbus Municipal Airport.
The final pieces of the aircraft arrived in July.
The plane is in a hangar at the airport, where volunteers have been painting the flight deck, installing flight deck windows and repairing sheet metal in preparation for moving the plane to its display site just south of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II aircraft now on display near the museum, said Skip Taylor, a museum member who is co-leading the C-119 project.
