Is that an old Convair of some sort? Has that look.

Only thing missing is a Lockheed L-1011.

Oh yes!!! It's weird because there is only one photo of this registration, moreover he joined Citilink on September 17, 2022.

This was supposed to be ASA's "Salmon Thirty Salmon" but STS's routing was changed and N263AK came here instead.

Just further clarification - as the Wiki article makes clear, the variable incidence wing allowed the aircraft to fly with the fuselage oriented 7 degrees 'lower/closer' to being level for any given wing angle of attack, The leading and trailing edge devices generated more lift than the 'clean' wing at any given AOA, further allowing the wing to support the fuselage at a more level deck attitude. All very clever.

The most innovative aspect of the design was the variable-incidence wing which pivoted by 7° out of the fuselage on takeoff and landing (not to be confused with variable-sweep wing). This allowed a greater angle of attack, increasing lift without compromising forward visibility.[3][4] This innovation helped the F-8's development team win the Collier Trophy in 1956.[6] Simultaneously, the lift was augmented by leading-edge flaps drooping by 25° and inboard flaps extending to 30°.

John, thanks for sharing with us. Great collection of aircraft. Really stacked in there. Too bad they don't have the room to spread them out more like the museum at Wright-Pat in Dayton.

That airplane just "looks" right. I hear they were a handful to fly, but wow. Great shot and thanks for posting.

This not a 747-200, but rather a 747-100. It was involved in an explosive decompression incident in 1989 that resulted in 9 deaths, but a successful emergency landing in Honolulu. The plane was eventually repaired and returned to service.

Colin - A wing will always fly at the same angle of attack, given gross weight, airspeed, stores carried, etc. are the same. The purpose of the 7 degree 'downward tilt' was to put the fuselage (and the pilot!) more 'level' when coming aboard the carrier - thus significantly improving his forward vision. Nice idea; copied by no one that I'm aware of!

An F8 Crusader crashed into a parking lot next to where I was working in San Diego in May 1985. Engine caught fire after takeoff from Miramar NAS and the pilot was trying to ditch in the ocean but came up short and pointed it to the parking lot before bailing out. Destroyed 18 cars but miraculously only 2 people injured and no fatalities. I was no more than 200 ft away. What an experience!

* NOTE: The numerical designation changes for KRNO's three runways, announced last year, were completed in the past week or so. The parallels, previously designated 34R-16L and 34L-16R, are now 35L-17R and (as shown in the photo above) 35R-17L. In the distant background of this snap is a runway marker for the cross runway. That runway, which was formerly 25-7, is now 26-8.

* NOTE: The numerical runway redesignations that I reported last year were going to be done for the reason I stated back then were made in the last two weeks and are now complete. Reno's parallel runways, previously identified as 16L-34R and 16R-34L, are now newly designated 17L-35R and 17R-35L. The cross runway, formerly 7-25, will now be 8-26.

Bill Bailey... so, are the N-156 & YF-5A designations used interchangeably? Just googling it, looking at the museum of flight website/page, it shows both designations? Is there a difference?
