Got my own BOO story from Futenma, Zero dark thirty and nobody left on the line but me and another guy in the line shack when Gunny told us to secure every thing. BOO was parked way down by the Huey squadron with a power unit (gtc was pulled) secured BOO first and worked our way down the line securing the rest of the birds back to the hangar and pulled out in the tug to grab Boo's power unit. We could hear a gtc starting as we pulled out of the hangar and BOO is sitting down there with all her lights on. Stop the tug go back in and report this to the Gunny, he wants to know if it's moving?......well no Gunny....then don't worry about it 'cuz I'm not going out there kid!

I like those analog fuzzy dice!

Missed the first post, My computer at work has yutube blocked.

Found this video thru another forum, last minute or so has some decent shots of some A models and Emodels from way back when.

I hear you, I used to put on a belly pack and strap in by the 245. On the other hand we did work with the SF guys in Korea once and they would'nt allow the aircrew to pay for any drinks when we went out on liberty. (They still tried to sell us on the idea of going out the back with them!)

Looks like the ramp is down too!

Somebody just failed their checkride big time!

We had a simular story where a jump qualified flight engineer put the flight mechanic in the center seat and went out the back with the jumpers for old times sake.

Way to go! Congratulations Casey.

I like that idea, It gives a whole new meaning to the term Battle-Herk!

Tell him to get them doggies of the computer and check in with us.

Probably 160625, airliners.net has a recent shot of it at AMARC

Happy Birthday to all you Marines lurking out there and thank you to Casey for the picture of the week.

I\'ve been a member of the Marine sister site for at least 2 years and have never had any trouble with spammers or any other problems and have been able to get in touch with some folks I haven\'t heard some for close to 20 years. It\'s worth a look.

The nacelles look like some of the p-51\'s you see at air shows, Maybe from a unit that was a fighter group in WW2? Looks cool!

VMGR 152 recently retired the oldest KC-130F to the yard. http://www.military.com/features/0,15240,163569,00.html?wh=news

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all and thank you to all our troops be safe!

Happy 232nd birthday U.S. Marines...Have a safe and happy Veteran\'s day guys!
