I am going down to check it out, Any you other guys going.

Just put that on my facebook this morning, before I checked in here this morning.:)

Sorry to here that, But you know us guys that Crewed those baby are getting old to and doing the best we can.

Went on that trip in 1972 out of CCK Muff, Nice trip a good change from going to TSN on ROTE every couple of weeks.:)

Thanks Earl for posting those sure bring back lot of momires from back in the day.

Worked on those dogs in 1968 to late 1970 at Kadana in the 603rd. MASS.

Ihated them acft. They all ways had a book of write-ups. They were real dogs. I put back in for pope as soon as I could to get back to the herky`s

I get a sick felling when I see a picture of a C-133 .

Bad here also for 3 to 4 days.

Now that what I call a Herky with his pants on the ground.:o

I Found One!

Great Job Casey, you da-man

:DWayne and Billy you guys or right on. I don`t live near a Air Base but not to for from the airport here and the C-130`s come up from dobbins and nashville to shoot touch and goes a couple days a week. I live on top of a ridge and some day they come right down the ridge line and I about knock down the door to get out side to get a look at it, but I sure do miss those days.

Not DU, but related, I heard on the older herks the side and overhead emergency escape hatch handles used to contain small amounts of radioactive material that would glow. I can't confirm if that's valid or one of those "F with the new guys jokes".

This was true, It was a small screw in button about as big around as a dime and a 1/2"in. thick at all emergency exits and they would glow.

First Herky J" Model for Dyess rolls out of the paint shop at Maritta Ga.

there reciveing 28 next two years.

Dan I think the ATF is getting together a SWAT Team to pay you a visit in the next few days.:rolleyes:

I know all the mildenhall Rote`s I went on and we would go on those 5 day and 7 day Turkey trots, Everytime we got to Ahtens the acft. would break for 2 to 3 days????.Strange!!!

(And that all I have got say about that)

Never had that Trouble in SEA:confused:

And it was a Diffent time back then.

Ken, I never ran in to that problem always tried to get father up the door, as you know the higher up you could get the warmer it was.

I brought my hammock back from CCK to Littlerock and used it there till I got out of Service, I forgot and left it on the last acft. I crewed. stowed in the middle compment in the ramp door and some cans of food here and there on the airplane.

Would get the bunk a lot of the times unless we had extra crew or a V.I.P.

In that case I would go to plan "B" Hang a hammock above the ramp door and turn off the loading lites and just swing in dream land in the HERKY HILTON.

GOD BLESS THEM ALL.

(ALL GAVE SOME SOME GAVE ALL).

Thanks for the pictures Mark and thanks for your services young Man.

Look like the lawn is coming in good Dan!:rolleyes:
