C-119 Flying Boxcar. Used in the 'Flight of the Phoenix' movie.

A really interesting thing about this aircraft is that it has a negative Angle of Incidence, which makes the fuselage point skyward in level flight.

(and a Mintie to the first cadet who can correctly define Angle of Incidence).

More or less correct sir, AC-119. But enough with semantics.

Shouldn't all cadets know what the angle of incidence is sir? Is it not part of the AoA lesson(s) in basic?

the angle at which the wing or horizontal tail of an airplane is installed on the fuselage, measured relative to the axis of the fuselage. Sir?

something similar to do with light rays was mentioned in my science class i think it was the law of reflection

The angle between the chord line of the wing and the longitudinal axis of the fuselage.

Pretty much what CDT Moss means, I think :P
