Ok Mike just to clarify. I am not trying to offend anyone. Certainly not the memory of anyone lost for sure. I do like your idea to Honor another airframe. But, why not use one that is already moded to represent?
Yah! Don't need no stinking Posers! All joking or grumbling aside, I would like to see any of them preserved for displays. All Herks are special to someone in some way, surely some more than others.
At our hangar in Denver we have a pair of owls (real) that have chased off all the birds. The only downside to this is I haven't seen a supervisor get bombed by pigeons lately.
Hey Dan, lots of these little social groups on face book. I've peeded on a C-130 and lived to tell about it has got to be one of the more... uh.. unique groups? thing is they have a lot of good pics and videos that people share ( like this site) some of them are by invite only but most are open to anybody.
Got a guy at work here bending my ear ... Any body have any info about a herk damaged in wyoming approx 1978 during a tornado.
shoved up against a hangar, wing tip on top of hangar, one on the ground?? Pics would be awesome.
Thanks John
