Notes:

National Museum of the US Air Force. In the 1960s, NASA and the DoD needed a mobile tracking platform to support the Apollo space program and other space operations. Eight Boeing C-135 Stratolifters were modified into the Apollo/Range Instrumentation Aircraft (A/RIA) standard. They were equipped with a steerable seven-foot antenna dish in its distinctive 'Droop Snoot' or 'Snoopy Nose'. Shot at 10mm.
