| Guy E. Franklin Fort George Meade, MD | Lockheed YF-94C (S/N 50-955) in flight. This aircraft was built on speculation by Lockheed in a non-military version. A second prototype (S/N 50-877) was built as a military version prototype after the USAF decided to proceed with procurement of the C model. 10/17/2008 @ 05:17 [ref: 22872] |
