This is an XC-99. This photo does no justice to how big this beast is. The last survivor is being restored at the National Museum of the Air Force in Dayton, OH. www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/photos/media_search.asp?q=xc-99...

Yes, Nate. You are correct that it is the XC-99. But this was the prototype with no others being built. It was allowed to sit in the elements for years outside Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio. Read more about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_XC-99

Sorry, Wingman. I knew that. Should have said this is "THE" XC-99. I think its great that they are gonna put this side by side w/ the B-36 that it was based on. That is gonna be an amount of airplane that is measured in acreage.

I thought this was a B-36 from the thumbnail.

C-99! This plane was damaged in a high wind storm when it was parked on the ground at Kelly A.F.B.! It is now being repaired!

John Sanders good to know, thanks!

Actually, after sitting at Kelly for eons, the USAF Museum drilled it apart (into subassemblies) and moved it to Dayton, where it will eventually be restored for display.
John Sanders said:
The C-99 was built from the B-36. There was only this one version built. But it was used by the Air Force for about 8 years as a transport!
