Check Six: Douglas C-124 Globemaster II “Old Shaky”
The Douglas C-124 Globemaster II was the primary heavy-lift transport for United States Air Force Military Air Transport Service (MATS) during the 1950s and early 1960s, until the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter entered service. It served in MATS-gained, later Military Airlift Command (MAC)-gained, units of the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard until 1974.
Nicknamed “Old Shaky”, you know why if you ever flew in a C-124.
