The Northrop Pioneer was built as a 40-passenger commercial transport aircraft, powered by three 596kW R-957 Cyclone engines. From it was developed the C-125 Raider for the USAF, 23 of which were built with 894kW Wright R-1820-99 engines: 13 as C-125A assault transports and ten as C-125B Arctic rescue aircraft.
| John D. Bybee, jsbybee(@)winco.net, 22.09.2008 Is this a/c the same "Pioneer" prototype that Jack Frye had Northrop construct in the mid 1950s? Or are we talking the four-engined "Safari"? | | 3VI, landmania(@)libero.it, 13.11.2007 It seems a little bit anachronistic in its post-war paint. |

Do you have any comments about this aircraft ?
