Opis:

A U.S. Navy Douglas R5D-2-2 (C-54) Skymaster of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) circa 1954. The aircraft was originally ordered by the USAAF as a C-54B-1-DC (c/n 10428, USAAF 42-72323). It was transferred to the U.S. Navy as an R5D-2 (BuNo 50851). In the early 1950s it was converted and used for radar tests at the Naval Air Test Center at Patuxent River, Maryland (USA) under the designation R5D-2-2. The aircraft was redesignated C-54P in 1962. After its service with the U.S. Navy it was sold to Aero Union of California (civil registration N62295). Finally the plane became a hulk at Chico, California.
