Barry, I was sorry to hold you up Buddy! I was out of town! I am glad you got that trip.
I am currently working on reproducing for AirSource a real life USAF Mission that I participated in 1966.
In the fall of 1966, Charles de Gaulle told the United States to get its equipment, personnel, and operations of military bases out of France. We flew 24/7 to take what we could out and the rest would be blown up to rival any movie ever produced. As a USAF C-130E Crew Chief it was my responsibility to stay with my Herky Bird, 62-1792, and fly, fly, fly! The following will be the flights that I was a part of in the grand scheme of things. Stay tuned because it will in compass at least 16 trips in 7 countries.
I am hesitant at this point to include the aborted flights because of the prop reduction gear problems we had in Goose Bay. I will post the complete Mission and you decide if you want to fly it.
