An ID feature is the triangular brace/fin where the tail boom comes off the aft fuselage... the only H-19/S-55s I've seen in pictures without it are YH-19 developmental airframes.

First aircraft I worked, C-5A 436 AMS 436 MAW Dover AFB Delaware. Major PIGS. They could haul a lot if you could get them off the ground.
I heard that every cockpit preflight check was a go or no-go decision as rarely, if ever, was everything working.

Could be. Any maintenance call within two hours of flight is called a Red Ball and is a priority one. I learned a lot on many a red ball. By the time I left they were being upgraded with three caracal IV INS systems. If one failed preflight that grounded the aircraft. Most aircraft only had one INS and the navigator new how to navigate if it failed.
You're fast!

I like the B-52 in the background. There'll probably be one in the B-21 retirement picture.
The B-52 will be the first ship to reach the Gamma Quadrant.

The new re-engining will be warp drive and Scottie's in charge.
