EC-121T
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Pikes Peak peaks out from the underbelly of the EC-121T at the Peterson Air and Space Museum. The aircraft was retired in May 1978 after flying Icelandic missions throughout its 20 year lifetime, and was delivered to the Peterson Air and Space Museum in fall of that year. The EC-121T was an airborne early warning radar surveillance aircraft, and is said to be designed with the help of Howard Hughes in the 1940s. The Peterson museum is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; admission is free. The airpark is open for viewing at all times. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Jessica Hines)
