Fairchild XC-120 Packplane – doświadczalny amerykański samolot transportowy, testowany na początku lat 50. XX wieku[1].
XC-120 został opracowany na potrzeby wojskowe, a jego zadaniem było zaoptrywanie oddziałów, choć w dalszej perspektywie planowano także zastosowania cywilne. Konstrukcja samolotu powstała w oparciu o model C-119 Flying Boxcar, który zmodyfikowano poprzez wyposażenie go w odpinany przedział ładunkowy w formie kontenera[1].
Zbudowany został tylko jeden egzemplarz[1], który następnie zniszczono[2].

Flag of the United States.svg
The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.

"The Fairchild XC-120 Packplane, a converted C-119B, had a removable cargo compartment. This was the only one built." Since two XC-120 aircraft are shown, this image is presumably a composite. Image is a photograph from the U.S. Air Force Aeronautic Systems Center History Office website.
