Size does matter
Another take on Douglas C-124C Globemaster II 51-0089 seen in preservation at the Warner-Robins Air Force Museum in Georgia, USA
With nothing visible to give scale to her she actually looks relatively small but in fact she's over 130 feet long with a wingspan of 174 feet and is just under 50 feet high
First flown in 1949 the 'Globies' could carry 200 troops and load vehicles and equipment via those under-nose clamshell doors
This one was once with the USAF's Air Materiel Command and is one of about half a dozen that still exist out of the 447 that were built
