    US Navy Douglas R5D-3 Skymaster, BuNo 56547 (c/n 22199). This aircraft would eventually enter commercial service, initially as N96450, before being registered as N74AF. As per cgibin.rcn.com/jeremy.k/cgi-bin/gzNavySearch.pl?target=Do...: Leased and then bought by West Indies Air Transport. While taxiing at Aguadilla-Borinquen Airport in Puerto Rico Feb 3, 1992, suffered a hydraulics failure and struck the right wing of parked Super Constellation HI-542CT and ran into a ditch. A fire broke out and N74AF was [Damaged Beyond economical Repair ("DBR")]. Here is a July 2014 photo of the remaining hulk of this aircraft at Aguadilla-Borinquen Airport (BQN / TJBQ) by Flickr user Sander: www.flickr.com/photos/xxsander99/14841594953/

    I think this is a C-54 Skymaster [http://www.flickr.com/photos/kukulu21/3376411308/]

    Wrong. This is the much bigger C-74 Cargomaster!

    Stéphane Beaumort To start with there's no such thing as a 'C-74 Cargomaster'. If you are referring to the C-74 'Globemaster' you will find the loading doors are in front of the wings while the C-54's loading doors are behind the wings.
