Happy Birthday C-130

These are a few of the many pictures I took during my very happy years of flying on the Herk. I can't post the real good ones because some of them could be bad for peoples careers! Best I can remember, all these were taken from 96-98 in Africa, Germany and Bosnia.

Hope yall enjoy!

Last ones. I can say without a doubt that the best time of my life was the -130 world. The people and the plane can't be beat. I have no doubt that when the last of my new fangled C-17's go to the boneyard, the crew will ride home on a Herk......the single greatest airplane ever built!

Loadmasters off headset.

Praise the Load!

This is our Herc when we deployed to Japan in the summer of '02. Good times! WIXer Tony Jarvis took this shot in Atsugi - I got the glamourous nightshift! :shock:

When the last Herc makes her last landing, we'll all be loooong gone!
