We had 987 at Hill AFB Ut. in the 1550 ATTW (1551st flying sq.) while I was there from 1971-1974. Good flying bird. No major probs as I remember. We had H,P and N models (10 total) and we removed the nose booms on all birds that had them. Pilots said they made to much noise and we didn't use the system then anyway. Bill

I remember her! I flew on her out at CGAS Sacramento. We had to learn about LOX with that one! She was a "loaner" after the 1600 went in up at Attu Island in July '82. She still had the internal fuel tanks...that made for some lloonngg days/nights on patrol over the Pacific. Glad to hear she's still flyin'!
