Photo Comment

Seen here while serving with AFSC's 4950 Test Wing, this 1956-build Hercules was fitted with four-blade props by 1984 and was only relatively recently retired at Eglin, then being broken up on the ranges there. Note the various sensors and radomes on the forward fuselage, all of which which were later removed
