Nothing like a huge warbird to add variety to an airshow lineup.  Derived from DC-4 civilian airliner, the Skymaster served in WWII and the Korean conflict.  This aircraft was part of a tribute to the Berlin Airlift.  This type was one of the first aircraft to carry the President of the United States and to assume the call sign Air Force One.
