Miss all my airlifter buddys and the C-130s we worked on an flew on.
I had a great time it was one hell of a ride for 12yrs. I flew with all the crew members on my remembrance profiles at one time or another while at CCK AB Taiwan , There were some great guys.
Wish I had never got out. that was the worse mistake I have made in my life. Met a lot of good people in my time in service.
Had lot of great trips and TDY`s, But the best of the best was being part of the crews to fly into Hanoi ( Gia Lam Airport) North Vietnam
1973 in support of the POW release, made three flights to Hanoi.
100% INFIDEL AND PROUD.
What is this Jihad? In my old neighborhood they would have called it an
Invitation for an asswhoopin. I WILL SAY THIS " Do Not Tempt The Lord"...
His neighborhood is a lot tougher than mine...
