Photo Comment

Built new for the Canadian Air Force as 22118. It was being operated by Hawkins & Powers Aviation when the slide was taken, and still retained the Canadian Air Force markings. It had been modified with a Westinghouse J-34 jet engine in a pod above the fuselage. This airframe is now on display at the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover AFB, DE.
