The
Aero Experience looks back on our recent Southwest Tour visits to Gainesville, TX and Fort Smith, AR. We visited the iconic ATL-98
Carvair, Miss 1944, at Gainesville Municipal Airport, TX. The Carvair was
originally manufactured as C-54 44-9023 and was registered for civilian use
under several operators before being converted to the Carvair aircraft No. 9
(of 21) and used by British Air Ferries. The Carvair employed an open-nose
configuration for loading cars for cross-channel flights and other bulk cargo
operations flown by other carriers. It is hoped that it will return to flying
status in the future. We also saw an assortment of agricultural application aircraft, business jets and general aviation aircraft. At Ft.
Smith Regional Airport, we found military aircraft on the TacAir apron,
including this T-38 Talon and F/A-18C Hornet.
