A USAF Lockheed C-121 Constellation as seen through open rear cargo doors of C-130 on ramp at DaNang, Vietnam - 1972. 856 Connies were built from 1943 to 1958, and had the distinctive dolphin-shaped fuselage and triple-tail design. With its four 18 cylinder engines it saw service both in WWII and here in Vietnam. In the background are a squadron of C-119 Flying Boxcars parked along a row of revetments. Among other things some of these Connies served as airborne command posts coordinating various real time air operations.
