  1. There was a two engine version of the 130 made by Lockheed but was so under powered it garnered little interest in the military or civil aviation fields. Ever picture I remember seeing of Credible Sport they were all four engine. I don't see a 2 engine herc getting out of a soccer stadium even with rockets. I can't explain this picture unless both inboard engines ar3e remov3ed for MX or "Photoshop".

  2. Don, Thanks for the update, but I remember his wife as Slyvee a cute French girl. She and my wife came to Thailand at the same time. Your right in that he was a great guy, bit of a party animal in his younger years.

  3. I think it right before Tet 68, we were hauling special munitions from Guam into in country, I asked the briefing officer if there were any special fire fighting procedures, his reply was, " there ain't a fire extingister big enough, so don't worry 'bout it". Thus we were introduced to WP/CBU's

    Does any one remember that load of ww2 vintage ammo that got shuttled back and forth that nobody wanted?

  4. Subject: COCKPIT DUTIES

    A few years ago on a long Air NZ flight; I asked if I could visit the cockpit..

    When I got up there, I found four crewmen.

    I asked the first what he did, and he explained that he was the navigator and what his responsibilities were.

    I turned to next one and asked what he did.

    He explained that he was the engineer and his job was to monitor and troubleshoot any system problems; To keep the flight operating smoothly.

    I turned to the next one and asked what he did.

    He explained that as the captain he was responsible for everything on the airplane and the functioning of the crew.

    So I then turned to the young first officer and asked "Well young man, what is your job?"

    He replied " Sir, I am the captain's sexual advisor."

    Somewhat shocked, I said "I beg your pardon, what do you mean by that?"

    "Very simple sir. The captain has told me that when he wants my fucking advice, he'll ask for it."
