Hello George. I was right down ther road from you at Yokota flying
WB-29's and Wb-50's from 1954 to 55, when I was grounded for a
bad eye! Also checked out in our C-54. I learned how to land it
the Berlin Air Lift way: 800 ft final, nose touching the runway, cut
power, full flaps & cowls, gear and nose down. Flare and land on the
stripes. It took a while to get one's courage!


You want to explain that again? I'm having trouble getting a mental picture of
what you did. You grind the nose on the runway, then lower the gear? After
grinding, then you flare? I'm missing something.
