That is cool! this one may have been posted before but, heres a remote herk. busted wing on landing.

Hey Tiny! thats a great picture. Leave it to a pointy head to talk to his daughter like that.

Dont know anything about your question nor do I know if your the only USCG representative here but, welcome to an excellent Site I think you'll like it. Tell your freinds.

interesting pics of prod # 3841 in the gallery. Got a story behind that one?

Props were also black (usually for short periods till the CC got bored and repainted them) Also, I think by useing the heavy chain as a base is giving the illusion of being a little shorter. cause of the lines on the whole aft end. those stations arent so prevelant on the orig MC prints.

I actually do like the pterodactyl. The HF antennea were wing-horizontal-fuselage on the 7th birds. 0555,0523,0566,0561. I know it varied on others. Lookin Good so far! you still have images we all sent you?

Glad you survived OHIO Skip!

Found this info via google

acft 74-1662 prod# 4597. other info googled c-130 crash at jackson hole wyoming.

Maybe you should look into Florida. Eglin, Hurlburt, Duke....... Some magic going on in that area I tell ya!

Fine Job Casey!

In Arkansas we LAPES'd a pallet of beer out of a truck at a big camping trip at Heber Springs. Worked great! (shook em up just a little)

Jeeps, always an excellent source of amusement!

try this link. Amazon shows 6 books availeable. or you can find other links with lots of excerpts from the book by googleing key words like desertone, or fulton skyhook-anchor.

Does anybody have pics or remember the old guy in Greece selling peanuts at all the bars?

Bobby's, bobby's 2, Gilleys, etc. etc. early 80's

Looks mighty fine there casey! I am e-mailing you a few pics that I swiped from some buddies that have some details on placement of the fulton yokes. (stowed) as well as the bottom side. I'll ask the guys for permission to post them later.

Yes the fending lines and yokes too! The way I remember them..... Awesome!

Possibly black and green and no refuel pods? Please???

Hey Jeff, When you do finally get your model, I'm sure There are more than a few of us here that would like to see how it turned out. I'm pretty reluctant to order one with the example that they have on the web site.

John

It was Nairobi, and seems like it was called the "New Florida bar" back then.

I also tried to create an album but, it didnt work out. I'll try again after casey tells me what I screwed up on.

Mongo,

I think that was 561. Pictures will be good.

Do you also have pictures of the girls at the Florida Bar?

Hey John,

the ones I do have (so far) are posted on the sons of the 7th in FB. I'll post them here too. hopefully this weekend. The Florida bar....... I can neither confirm nor deny any such knowlege of that establishment.

The other John..........

Your right! and this to be learned lesson applies to a lot of other places as well. You dont want people that think they just have a right to be there without proving themselves first. Without it, they are dragging everyone else down.

Dont go! like some here are saying, the jobs in aviation are rare and more cuts are coming for sure. Been working as a mechanic for a major carrier for 23 years and my job certainly is not safe. The retirement I was promised is nothing but a pipe dream for me now. There are literally thousands of Pilots, mechanics and any other ground support people waiting to be recalled or hired by someone else. SO, If there is no real good reason to get out, whats a couple more years?

I only did 4 years. I got out when things were good and now wish I would have stayed the course for 20+. Hindsight is a bitch you cant bite back. Good luck whatever you do.

John

Well that was after my time so, there ya go! When did they start installing the pods? seems like I remember some talk about it but that may have been after I got out as well.
