The C-1A Trader requires a lot of care. It was designed as a Carrier Onboard Delivery aircraft (COD), and spent its career flying urgent cargo, personnel, equipment, and such to and from aircraft carriers. It also carried the mail. Those folding wings come in handy — she’s a big plane but will actually fit into a hangar, making maintenance easier.
