The second of two prototypes, this Piasecki YH-16A Transporter broke apart in mid-air on 5 January 1956, when the rear rotor shaft failed, allowing the blades to desynchronize and wobble into the plane of those of the forward rotor. Although the cause of the failure was determined not to be a design defect the program was scrapped.

This sole example flew cargo for the USAF from 1950 to 1957 before being retired. Seen on display at the National Air Show in Philadelphia. The SAAMA logo on the fin refers to San Antonio Air Materiel Area. Comparing this view to the one taken 1 year earlier shows more weathering, stripes at the tip of the tail and no red on the prop spinners.

Stroukoff fitted this aircraft with their "Pantobase" landing gear system, which permitted landing on any reasonably flat surface: land, water or snow. Trials were successful and the YC-123E was further developed into the YC-134.
This particular aircraft is widely reported as ex Fairchild-built C-123B 54-554 (c/n 20003), but that seems unlikely because it still has the original Chase tail with rounded tip and no dorsal fin. It is almost certainly one of the uncompleted Chase-built C-123Bs 52-1628 to 52-1631, or the rebuilt YC-123D 53-8068.

The first B-52 to fly, Featuring tandem seating as did the XB-52, all future models had a side by side flight deck. Seen here in May 1959 at the old Air Force Museum located on the Patterson side of Wright-Patterson AFB. The YB-52 was retired in the late 1950s to the museum, but the aircraft was scrapped in the mid-1960s because of a drive to get rid of excess military hardware.
