A C-54 is not a combat aircraft. Seeing "action" implies that you have done

Flying combat airccraft is one thing, Flying airliners is something else.

Ahh, now we have a new Kramer version of combat. Now, to qualify, you must
have
delivered explosive ordnance. C-47s flying over "the Hump" and intercepted by
Japanese Zeros...not "real combat". C-130s landing in Khe Sahn during
artilliary and mortor fire...not combat. UH-60s inserting SF forces behind
Iraqi lines before the beginning of Iraqi Freedom...not combat. Hell, Ed
Rasimus in an F-4E on MiGCAP over Hanoi...not combat. The list gets shorter
and
shorter....

Don't try to mix Ed with the wannabbes on this NG. Ed fought the good fight.
But why are you still on that eternal bomb run that never ends? You have been
on that bomb run for years and never reached the target.
