Thanks, Mike; much appreciated. Must have been an impressive bird to
hear and see when flying.



They were impressive, we had a couple of them come into CAAF at Ft Campbell
in about 1966 (IIRC) to load up a couple of our helicopters that were
needed for rescue work during some floods in Texas, we pushed 2 of our
birds in the one assigned to us and off they went..

looked a lot like big C-130's then....
