The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster was a military transport aircraft developed in the 1950s for the United States Air Force. Designed to carry large cargo loads, it featured a distinctive nose that could be raised for easy loading and unloading. The C-133 was powered by four turbofan engines, allowing it to fly long distances with heavy payloads. Entering service in 1961, the C-133 played a crucial role in transporting military equipment and supplies, including missiles and satellites. It was eventually retired in the 1980s, replaced by more modern aircraft, but remains an important part of aviation history.
