Really cool. I wish I had taken pictures. My dad's cousin (my first cousin once removed?) was a colonel at the time and I forget his exact role, but he flew it up to Dallas for an Air Show where we got the grand tour. It is a pretty long climb from the cargo deck to the flight deck. It's hard to imagine that those beasts are designed to land on rough fields even though they never use the capability.Daddy Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386749814126280114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-50353561868830249272011-07-29T15:06:39.352-05:002011-07-29T15:06:39.352-05:00Nah, you had a productive day... flight time is li...Nah, you had a productive day... flight time is like trigger time, you NEED to do it to stay current, and that is what you did :-)Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-67765577544172639312011-07-29T14:04:31.824-05:002011-07-29T14:04:31.824-05:00You wrote, "I really didn't do a damn thi...You wrote, "I really didn't do a damn thing by way of comparison" but I must disagree.
