    The Sim J. Harris factory is no more, but the road remains. There is still a Harris Plant Road, it's an exit off of Kearney Villa Road.

    The aircraft pictured is a Douglas C-133B-DL Cargomaster. The side opening "petal" doors (the doors with the yellow bands) of the B model were installed to facilitate the loading of ICBMs such as the Atlas shown. This aircraft was sent to storage in June of 1971, then scrapped by 1974.
