Long way from the loady ridin' in the paratroop doors with a flare gun loaded with, if I remember right, a green flare. Is that right???? Did we REALLY do that stuff?????????? I think our arch-enemy was the SA-7 Strella. Some where here in my box of memories I have a "SA-7 Flight Examiner patch. remember those???????????????????

Hey Giz and Frank, not a 130 comment but as FE on 141's in the mid 70's we had a bar in each troop door and 2 flare guns mounted on it. One FE and one Load manned them on take off and landing as needed. Must have been very effective as we never lost a 141 to SAM's. Then again I never heard of anyone firing them. Sure miss those high tech days.....Bill:(
