Fairchild C-119G Flying Boxcar (Serial No. 22120), c/n 1087 of the Central Experimental and Proving Establishment (CEPE), Uplands, Ottawa.

The Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar was a military transport aircraft developed from the Second World War era Fairchild C-82 Packet. It was designed to carry cargo, personnel, litter patients, and mechanized equipment, and to drop cargo and troops by parachute. The first C-119 made its initial flight in November 1947, and by the time production ceased in 1955, more than 1,100 C-119s had been built. Its cargo-hauling ability and unusual twin-boom design earned it the nickname "Flying Boxcar". The RCAF received 35 new C-119Fs delivered from 1953, later upgraded to C-119G standard.
