This is a 4 engine transport. Never found out what
it was called. ( Just a big "Gooney Bird" )
[Petester Comment: Tom Hildreth helped us out on this
one! It appears that this aircraft is a Boeing 307 Stratoliner, one
of only ten ever built. This particular one most likely started life
with TWA, was later pressed into service with the USAAF as a C-75, and
then sold in Southeast Asia in the mid 1960s.]
[Further information from Gene Saner, who was a USAF controller in the Tan
Son Nhut tower: "The Boeing 307 belonged to the International Control
Commission, flew almost weekly, sometimes more to Vientiane, Laos for the
ICC meetings, then back to Tan Son Nhut."] |
