Well, after reading that Bullwinkle, I think it's safe to say that flying with you would ALWAYS be an adventure. I have a decent amount of time in Herks, and done a lot of different things in many places. Thankfully, none of them compare to your adventures.
-
Neat. Thanks for sharing.
-
Do slicks get one too? How about an extra supp for flying with AMEs?
-
It's been a while, but I'd guess the last one is Uta Pao?
-
Ahh. That explains it. The 86-04XX series was Pittsburg. I thought they were Milwaukee. The 87-928X airplanes were Chicago Reserve turned Milwaukee. Things are making more sense now.
-
Thanks. That clears up most of the confusion. I thought I just saw the original 440th tails at Pope last time I was there. Perhaps I didn't pay enough attention.
-
I'm still a little confused here... OK Citys' 78s went to Pittsburg. Where did Pittsburgs' airplanes go? Nashville's 89-90s either became Gunship/Talons or went to Niagara. Where did Niagaras' go? As far as I can tell, the 440th totally relocated to Pope, but did not pick up any airframes. I was under the impression that they were supposed to get more. I understand St. Joe's airplanes are supposed to start moving to Little Rock ANG. Are they getting Mansfields?
-
I know I've got a photo of 773 at home somewhere... I can't remember if it was an EC with Harrisburg or still a slick with Willow Grove.
-
Glad I'm not the only one that was a little distracted by the word "Keel". That would suggest it's carrier-capable. I thought they nixed that idea a long time ago....
-
That would make sense, but...
-
It's much easier to cook dishes like that ahead of time. That way, even if you heat it forever and it's still cold, at least you won't be eating raw meat.
-
I thought PRANG wasn't slated for a replacement. The C-27J was kicked around, but nothing firm.?
-
I like occasionally doing pre-made cinnimon buns or cookies in the oven. Frozen individual pizzas come out very well in the oven as well. The aircraft oven somehow works wonders with bread-type items.
-
I've been looking for it for quite a while. I know it exists, but nobody seems to have gotten their hands on it that I've talked to about it.
-
The gag I've always enjoyed is the Alcoholics Moving Cargo patch. Very few people are observant enough to notice...
-
The middle pic appears to have RAW gear in it with the old radar. My guess would be late H2 or newer.
-
I'll start with an original of mine.
-
That's a good one! LoL!
-
One of the Reno birds had the Hula Pig. Suitable for mounting on the SKE scope rails. How oddly appropriate for a Herk! LoL!
-
I had heard that Mansfields were the first to get totally AMPed up and go to Little Rock ANG as the schoolhouse for the X-model or whatever they decided to call them. With the high likelyhood of the AMP getting the axe, I wonder how that'll change.
-
I'm at Delaware and all of ours have digital fuel gauges, starting at 84-0206. I can't remember, but I think Schenectedy (83s) may have digital as well. I think the old OK City (now Pittsburg) airplanes started the Guard H2's with 78-0806.
-
Knock on wood- the full birds I've flown with have all been really good. It's mainly the Captains that don't fly much that I worry about....
-
DE ANG took Bob Hope on a Vietnam tour back in the C-97 days. I may have a little bit of info on it buried away.
-
What is going on with Nashville these days? I heard they were getting WCs (with the foreign training role) and sending their H2s up to Niagara. One of our crews saw a Nashville H2 on a trip a few weeks back.
