Spotted this USMC Flying Boxcar during my first trip to the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum.  The Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar (Navy and Marine Corps designation R4Q) was a transport aircraft developed from the preceding Fairchild C-82 Packet.  First flown in  1947 with more than 1,100 C-119s built by the time production ceased in 1955.  In 1951, Henry J. Kaiser was awarded a contract to assemble supplemental C-119s, most Kaiser-built aircraft were issued to the U.S. Marine Corps as R4Qs.  Fuji X-E2s w/18-135mm.
