Centerpiece of the Peterson AFB Museum collection, this Warning Star was delivered to the museum directly after retirement in 1978.  Delivered in January 1955, this aircraft saw duty in the US and in Asia before finishing its career in Iceland. Used as an airborne early warning radar surveillance aircraft, this was a military version of the Lockheed Super Constellation airliner. Photographed with Nikon D300 and processed with Photomatix.
