SEFEGeorge Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Nam 67-68 talking about taxi starts. I was Fe,Fm, and Load (3in1) on the C-7A while at Hue I was up in the hatch clearing wing tips for the pilot on our taxi in to drop off about 10 troops when I felt the concussion against my back as a result of a rocket attack near the fuel dump. Tower announced we were under attack and all aircraft expedite takeoff. I went to the back and told everyone" DD attack" They left me with the bags that I threw off while we were taxiing out. I resumed my hatch position and saw 2 C-130's on the runway taking off with 1 and 4 engs. spooling up, 2 and 3 at max power. Cool manuver that I always held in my mind as a C-130 F.E. Steve H. Good ole Bous. Fixed a lot of them at CRB. Just hated working on the aug tubes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Wilson Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Had the pleasure of many a buddy start during the first gulf war and the Balkans, both giving and receiving. I also still have my starter nut wrench that I have had since 1963 0r 64. They work GREAT on the older Iron head Harley cylinder nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
