  1. What fun place, I can see the prospective location of the road that I put the speedbump ditch across. Sure was a long 10 months. Rz
  2. My cert (Nov. 65) says Fight Mechanic, That was what I was called until Discharge in June 66.
  3. Worst argument I ever had with a deployment commander was back in 82 getting ready to come home when he ordered the crew chief's to "float the caps". Moldyhole had Jp8 . he couldn't understand the difference between Jp4. Man he was pissed when i told Him I wasn't going to get myself killed for his ignorance. That was around the time we were fighting the wing cracks also. RZ Hill

  9. I arrived in mid 62, was in B-47 Recovery. moved to the 317th when the 47's left. Crewed 56-489 then 56-513, Went to Fe school at Sewart Flew the line in the 39th till June 66. RZ Hill

  13. Okc acft are now at The reserve unit at Pittsburg. The 79-473 thru 480 acft were the second buy and operated by Jackson Mississippi. The transfered to Charleston Wv. in The spring of 86. They looked like new then, Jackson's crew chiefs didn't want to get rid of them and pickup worn out 141's. We flew these acft till the Summer of 89 when we got 88-1301 thru 1308 that now are w's. Your acft were split up over the Guard I would see them in numerous places. They were brought back together for your unit. Of the 8, 475 was the fastest, 479 and 480 the most reliable, tho all were great flyers. Look on the copilots forward panel on 473 and see if it still has the "turbo boost switch" We had more fun with this on a trip to Korea with the transient maint troops. By the way what's the average hours on these acft. today? RZ Hill
  14. I believe they came as H2-5's as we couldn't interfly with them on rotation to Ramstein. We could preflight them leaving the glass stuff alone. RZ
  15. Your right 78-0806 is the first H'2 and that batch of 8 went to OKC. RZ
  16. On the Guard side, The H2's started with 78-0208 and continued thru 90-1058 The digital fuel gauges, started with 84-208 (Delaware) Rosemont Pitot system With Texas 86-1361 , along with oil cooler augmentation. Mansfield tails are 90-1791 thru 90-1798. Louisville recieved 12 acft starting with 91-1231. Mansfield and Louisville are H-2.5 acft. Now since the Brac crap some have been shifted around. Cheyenne Has the first H-3's then Charlotte, then Martinsburg of which 8 have gone to Charlie West, including the first 4 3.5's The last H-3.5's went to Minneapolis. RZ Hill
  17. Now there are 3 orphan acft, , what is to become of them? What a waste, RZ
  18. Your right 6.4 and 6.9 If I remember jp8 is same weight as jp5. Jp4 being wide cut gasoline, Jp5 and jp8 Diesel base RZ
