EC-121T Warning Star, U. S. Air Force (53-0552), Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma

            The EC-121  was designed primarily as an early warning aircraft protecting against Soviet air attack over the oceans. It was an aerial extension of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line.  The aircraft has two large radomes, a vertical dome above and a horizontal one below the fuselage. As the Soviets developed ballistic missiles, the EC-121 role as an early warning aircraft became less important.  However, it was used in a variety of strategic, tactical and special missions such as space capsule recovery, control of nuclear test areas, search and rescue, and command and control.  The aircraft on display flew many combat missions during the Vietnam War.  It was the last EC-121 radar surveillance and control aircraft to serve.
