Fairchild C-119G Flying Boxcar.  As you can see they are replacing all the fabric on the rudders, Ailerons, elevators and flaps.  The C-119 was always one of my favorites from when I was a kid because of the movie " The Flight of the Phoenix " .  The door was open and I was going to try to take a peek at the flightdeck but, the gentleman working on it said maybe another day but, sorry not today!! Sad

Enjoy!! Smiley

Nice walkaround. I don't recall ever seeing one of these 'in the flesh'.
