    I was with the 374th in Naha from May 1969- dec 1970. From there I went to LRAFB and was a Scanner with the 16th TATS until May 1972. Have been a civilian since, but I will always love the Herc. While TDY to Ubon I flew a couple of missions on 55-005 with Blindbat. Was also stationed at El Centro NAS 1968.

    I don't remember the tail number of that aircraft, old age, but I was the AC/C on her. I still have a piece of shrapnell that I took out of the overhead hog trough. It was a pain getting her back to flying shape. The best part was our squadron was flying out of Cam Ron Bay, so when I was TDY at TSN, I was on my own. It took six months to get the correct elevator assymbly. Saw a lot of movies with nothing else to do. When we flew her back to Naha, I don't recall the gear being down. I know it was chained down when they flew it to TSN. Some of you may recall this plane as we put a bright blue flight deck on it and painted the Inst. Panel and insulation tan. Some would say pink. That was Larry the crewchiefs idea. It would be great to get a picture of her. The last time I saw it was when we ferried it to Van Nuys for the ANG.
