A bunch of interesting stuff posted recently by the San Diego Air & Space Museum (SDASM) Archives on the Flickr Commons.

What appears to be a windtunnel model of a swing-tail CV-880/990 variant modified into a "Guppy" transporter, presumably for Project Apollo hardware.

Great find dear Boxman,

but I can't read the designation or drawing number on a rival to C-141 ?.
 
This looks familiar, but I can't put a name to it or find the appropriate place for this in the forum, but I am almost certain others here can. So, I'd ask the moderators to move to the appropriate topic once identified.

Recently posted to Flickr by the San Diego Air & Space Museum (SDASM) Archives, a desk model described as "Model General Dynamics USAF Military Aerospace Platform Concept model."
