Warbird Wednesday: C-119 Boxcar
Welcome to a slightly different Warbird Wednesday where we show you only a piece of the Fairchild C-119 Boxcar… and not to mention Fred’s take on a British accent.
This is a rare aircraft in that only a few were built before technology changed again and left this particular version obsolete. Watch the video and find out why you can only see the front section of this aircraft when you visit the Palm Springs Air Museum.

Arrival of the F-117A Stealth Fighter #833
The F-117A Stealth Fighter #833 arrives at the Palm Springs Air Museum with a flyby salute from two pivotal Lockheed aircraft; the WWII vintage P-38 Lightning and a first-generation jet, the T-33 Shooting Star.
As the revolutionary aircraft enters the ramp from the airport to the Museum it was greeted with a water arch tribute and it’s final radio call from the control tower recognizing its service to our nation.
Thank you to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, the United States Air Force, the DeMil Team at Tonopah Nevada, our patrons, and staff for bringing this Historic aircraft to our facility.
The Museum will be announcing more viewing experiences soon.
