Hope you are doing well and have a great day for your birthday! Lee Sills 314FMS

Happy Birthday to you Ken! I sure hope this year turns out better than the last two years. I sent Chris a personal e-mail on his birthday, the 7th and he replied back to me yesterday by the same. I don't get on this website too often anymore, so checked it this morning and found your message to Chris and myself. I have got you by 3 years, was 79 yesterday, and Chris is older than you by only a year. I guess it must be all this good clean living that keeps us alive. Have a great day today and I hope you have many more to come. Lee

Hope you have a great day for your birthday today. Congratulations on your 75th from your older friend! Lee

Another year, another birthday. Congratulations on your 76th. Hope you are staying warm today for your birthday celebration. Lee Sills

Hope you had a great day for your birthday today! It's hell getting old, but somebody's got to do it. Lee

Hope you had a great Birthday today! Hope you have many more! Lee

It's been a long time since I worked on a C-130, but have some info on the trim tab indicators for an E Model. According to the TO 1C-130E-4 (an IPB I do believe), there were three trim indicators on the pilot's main instrument panel: Elevator Trim Tab, Figure 83 - Index 26, P/N 8DJ49GBV2 Aileron Trim Tab, Figure 83 - Index 27, P/N 8DJ49GAW2 Rudder Trim Tab, Figure 83 - Index 28, P/N 8DJ49GAY2 Hope this is some of the info you were looking to find.

Must be that time of the year again. Have a great day for your birthday and hope you have many more to come!

Hope you have a great day for your birthday today, and many more great days to come with many more birthdays. Lee

Well as soon as I can grab a pedi-cab, I’ll be right down for a beer and bbq. Those were the days! Lee

Ken Seems like everyone is having a Birthday this month! Have a great day. Lee

Chris When it comes to Birthdays, you just can't have too many! Hope this Birthday is a happy one! Lee

Google P-38 can opener. Army-Navy stores have a five pack for $2-3. Lee

A practical man indeed!

I just posted a picture of 62-1802 in my user gallery. This photo was taken at an open house display at Pease AFB New Hampshire in 1964 or 1965 while I was stationed there. The photo was scanned from an old picture of mine that my sister had in a family photo book. The full sized scan is about 1 Meg and I can e-mail it if anyone is interested.

Robert Thanks for the 360 degree tours of the cockpits site. Very interesting, did not know it was available. Lee

Ten miles as the crow flies. I found the arrow at the airport from an internet search and used a satellite map to confirm that it was still there. It was inside a fence around the terminal, so I went inside to inquire if it was OK to go outside the building to take a picture. The fellow I talked with was a pilot and told me about the second arrow as he has seen it from the air. The second arrow was a bonus and is the nicer of the two. I'll bet that not a lot of them are left around.

I found two of the concrete arrows in Indiana. One is at the Shelbyville Airport in Indiana and is at 39 degrees 34 minutes 36 seconds North and 085 degrees 47 minutes 58 seconds West. This arrow seems to be missing part of the tail. The other arrow is about 10 miles east-southeast of the airport arrow and appears to be complete. It is located in someone's front yard just off a country road at 39 degrees 32 minutes 25 seconds North and 085 degrees 39 minutes 31 seconds West. Both arrows show up on satellite maps at the coordinates above. Here is a picture of the front lawn arrow.[ATTACH=CONFIG]3650[/ATTACH]

Neat item! Got first one at Robbins AB museum. Amazon also has these items at great price.

Have a good one! Lee

Cool new pictures! Will look at them all tomorrow. Spent the day at the Air Force Museum in Dayton. I may be that fellow. 314FMS Leland Sills
