venom 66 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Back when I was at Yokota, jan 90 to jan 93,we had 63-7803. (which was sold to Tunisia a couple of years ago) It was nicknamed "ghostrider". And even had a pretty cool mural painted on the NAVs table.The story I heard bout that bird was; on a mission in Vietnam,the acft landed after a mission,taxied to the end of the runway,shut down the engs and just sat there.When some folks went to investigate,they opened the crew door to find the whole crew still in their seats, dead. Does anyone know this story or more importantly, what really happened? Edited July 25, 2009 by venom 66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airnav Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yeah, and the crew chief that stole the Herk at Mildenhall was sitting on the rear ramp of this bird drinking a Budweiser and smoking a Kool! I just love some of these stories! Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
