AllanStern
KING 24, KING 70 and KING 76, all Patrick AFB C-130s, are one their way to

They have been advised to contact Nashville Ops on 322.9 when 15 minutes out

andreas
Has somebody some figures, how many of this two airplanes, Tu-28 (128) and
Yak-28/27/25 has been used/produced by the Soviet AF in the 70/80?
