This photograph showcases the McDonnell Douglas C-9B Skytrain II 163512, affectionately known as "City of Atlanta," of the United States Navy's Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 46 (VR-46). The C-9B Skytrain II, a military variant of the DC-9-32CF airliner, was manufactured by McDonnell Douglas, now Boeing Commercial Airplanes. This specific aircraft, with the military serial number 47474, was delivered to the U.S. Navy in 2005. The C-9B Skytrain II is a versatile transport aircraft, capable of carrying cargo, passengers, and medical evacuation equipment. It is an essential asset for the U.S. Navy, providing logistical support to various military operations. The aircraft's distinctive livery, featuring the "City of Atlanta" insignia, is a testament to its proud history and service within the VR-46 squadron. In this photograph, the C-9B Skytrain II is seen taxing on the runway, ready for its next mission. The aircraft's powerful engines emit a plume of smoke as they warm up, while the crew members diligently prepare for departure. The background shows the expansive tarmac of the military airfield, with other aircraft and support vehicles in the distance. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily operations of the U.S. Navy's Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 46 and the vital role the McDonnell Douglas C-9B Skytrain II plays in providing essential transportation and logistical support to the military.
