I was in the 773 Troop Carrier Squadron at Ardmore AFB Oklahoma from the last of 1955 to 1959 when Ardmore was closed. The 773 Troop Carrier Squadron had C-119's my first year there. We received the first of the United States Air Force's C-130s from Lockheed in the fall of 1956. In November 1956 one person from each shop was sent to Edwards AFB to train on C-130 systems. I was there for several months. This has got to be the best aircraft ever built. My Avatar is a picture that was taken in 1955 at Chanute AFB in Illinois of me and my 1931 Buick.
As you can tell by my posts I spend alot of time looking through old newspapers. I am also a 55 year member of the United Auto Workers.
I do not have any pictures of C-130s because they would not allow us to take any during my enlistment.
