Ed Blanchard - If you are identifying the a/c in this photo as a C-119 Flying Boxcar... then someone will be along shortly to advise you it isn't. Of course, if your comment was directed otherwise, then all is well! :-)

That IS a C-199 "Flying Boxcar". I flew in them several times in the early 1960's with Civil Air Patrol (CAP). A common troop/cargo carrier then. What a ride it was, too! Our slogan for it then was: "60,000 pounds of assorted loose nuts and bolts flying in close formation." I saw a couple of them later during my time in Vietnam. A couple of AC-119 variants bristly with machine guns and small arty. They didn't last long

Isn't the Internet a humbling experience. ;) I had this page up to respond and walked away, came back to read Glenn's article (great article, btw. Thank you, Sir.) and then posted my thoughts. Then of course to my surprise when refreshed to see a lot more from others.

David Aaron - "Nice shot of one of Draken Internationals Skyhawks a common sight at NAS Fallon as they operate several USMC and Navy tactical training contracts."
Thank you, Sir, for bringing that forward!
The venerable A-4. It is amazing how much love and admiration can be felt for one single aircraft type clearly demonstrated in such few words as a result of one picture. What a great community this is! You guys and gals make it fun being a part of this great gathering of aviators and enthusiasts. Thank you!!
Found this link of that aircraft and they all show Geese following him

thanx for the share, this brings back alot of memories of watching that movie.
I forgot to mention the movie says there were 16 total Geese, but here theirs only 10, but maybe this is that same guy.
Written on 09/22/2018 by Bill Gardner
the movie is a true story
Lets see if anyone remembers this movie...

Fly Away Home
15ADE.. flying with gooses? I don't think so. I like jet4ang's comment, and Linda's comment, and David Wallis, did this not begin as you say, many years ago the first beginning in Canada, requiring special permission to fly across the border without first getting customs clearance?

Drafting is done from behind as in auto car racing. One bird is a goose, two or more are geese or can be called a gaggle as in a school of fish or a gaggle of geese.

I was Marine aircrew on the C119F. The big difference here is no radome up front.

@skylab72 - per c-130 dot net, 14-5793 is indeed an MC-130J. With the hose-and-drogue pods, SpecOps helos can fill up en-route to their destination!

@skylab72 - Atlas Air flies cargo and charter passenger, so yes, non-sked AFAIK.

When the last C-17 is ferried to the boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB, a C-130 will carry the crew back to their base!

There's a good chance that hotshot Dale "Snort" Snodgrass might be behind the stick on that?
Did you get any further shots? Possible ground shots?

Fun fact: Mt. Baker is ~67 statute miles from CYVR, and is just a bit South of the axis of the 08-26 runways. So this bird is landing on one of the 28s. Our photographer must have been using a LONG lens for this shot!
Looks like they overloaded the tail

Here's a brief history of BuNo 155063, courtesy of Joe Baugher's excellent website:

Thanks for the help on the aircraft type. Apparently others have tagged N23105 as a King Air for some reason and when I didn't choose anything FA auto-assigned it? I could not find the proper way to tag is so appreciate the help!
