Dad loved the Duece. Back in the early 70's I can distinctly remember
Dad and me standing on the ramp at Buckley ANG base where he flew
the T-29 (he was stationed at Denver's Lowry AFB but flew the T-29
out of Buckley from time to time just before his retirement).


Surely not as a pilot. There was no reason an ADC pilot would have trained on a
T-29. It had 2 primary functions over its lifespan: navigator trainer and
cargo. The ones I worked on at Langley in the 1970s still had most of the
sextant mounts in place if memory serves.
