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.

Good ole Bous. Fixed a lot of them at CRB. Just hated working on the aug tubes though.
