George, Muffs memory is good, The Engineer, did open the ramp and door with that
switch, during airdrop. I have one CCk Stan Evil Engineer living in my aeria(Bobby Bottoms)
I'll tell him Muff's memory is bad.

Muff, you forgot youself, without you, opening the ramp and door, we would not
have been able to drop the load.

Got to fly a shuttle, to TSN with Sam in 72, The AC's name was Pat Maher, if I remember.
correctly. One evening after returning to TSN, we had some folks from Langley TDY to
CCK, Sam and I met another Scot. a LM named David Rae. When David and Sam got to
speaking Gaelic. I figured it was time to leave. I got a spot on my shoulder for carrying him
around, That is one character.

Back in my 141 days, I hauled a Chief named Ray Snedegar to a -9 conference. He was
just grabbing a ride. He told me that it costs $1,000 a page to change a manual. Like
the -9. So you needed somebody to say "No" to some of the stuff that engineers could
come up with. This was in 1980 or so. It always seems that this stuff is turned down so
somebody else can make money.

Let me go to my old memory bank, One part was a strap that was hung around the
overhead framework supporting the Hog trough at the ramp hinge. This could be fabricated
at the parachute shop. The pully could be picked up at Home Depot or any hardware
store. As long as you could support the diameter of the static line retrever cable and
was strong enough. That's all I can remember

There is no part number, it is homemade, You used to have a drawing of it in the C-130-9

With the Creek Party, that was going along time before that, Mid 60"s when they crew
rested at Goose Bay. They's clean out the Class 6 store. I was a bus driver, back then.
Also I worked the SAC alert mole hole. Those KC-135 crews that were comming off alert,
and going south. would fill the busses with their booty.

The only survivor on that crash was the LM, Jerry Weeks. I had to go in an pick,
up the engines, and other stuff a few day afterward, Got to visit Jerry in the hospital
in Saigon. He was in a full body cast. The Engineer I was flying with on that shuttle
was Cliff Ross.
Thanks Glenn,
One of the problems with old timers is now I have to try to remember who asked me that question?

There 2 of them, one was a trash hauler mission and one was abird going back to the states for PDM. The one you were talking about is the engineer was onboard and killed,
Candy Candalero. Bob Compton was the LM and he was at the hotel.

The best one I know of is Mike Lyons. He used to eat one of those Liverwurst and onion
sandwichs, his wife would fix, (she would fix several), About an hour later. The signal
would be he would say "Oh, my stomach" That would be the signal to vacate the cock-
pit or grab the nose hose. Course was good "On Demand" He did not like smokers on the flt-deck, to. He could vanquish them to the cargo compartment, with one toot!!!

I also think the Engineer, was Roy Shoal, I remember walking past him and saying "Gear
Up" and getting a very dirty look.

Bob I think that one was at Makung

My memory might be bad, but I seem to remember, in the mid-70's, they had birds
going into reverse, inflight, they grounded the whole fleet. I think the cause was
pullies being to small for the cable.

In those days, the 60\'s. Security Police, were called Air Police. Mostly refered to as the\"Apes\"
That is probably the Air Force changed the name.

Those LM Seats Muff is talking about were installed on the right side of the aircraft, They were not
near any of the dual rails handles. you usually had to climb over the wench and other goodies to
get. to the handles, to get to the rear of the aircraft, to open the ramp and door for an engines
running offload. In fact, you wanted to be back there, to get the ramp and door open, because
you were usually being chased by mortars. You needed to get ridd of the stuff ususlly Class A ammo.
After you, released the locks and the load was moving out of the aircraft, you were running to
the back following the load, to get the ramp and doors closed, because the pilot was getting
ready for take off roll. The only place for the LM, was to try to strap himself in by the paratroop
door

Would this FE named Chic, also be know as Chickypoo A.

Iosue, was a Col. at CCK. but he went on to 4 stars. I think his
nickname was Andy P Shortlegs. After him came the Bagger (Baginski)
I just like alot of other people keep getting reminded of
our tour at CCK, by my suroundings.

Go to airbusmilitary.com I think they do turn in oposition
directions. I\'m no pilot, but didn\'t the pilot in a c-130
have to kick in full right rudder rudder on takeoff roll
to compensate for engine torque. Straight line thrust

The pilot was Dougy Way, the engineer was Bobby Bottoms. and one of the loads way
Little John Lowry. I don't remember the rest. They were from the 21st at Clark. I like
quite a few others were on alert at Utapao. when they dropped the Blu 82.
