For that matter, I once had a meeting in Portland, ME, with a fellow
from Bango who'd used his "Company Car" to get to the meeting - An ANG
F-101B.

When I was in the army, I regularly went out to the nearest military
airport with a three-day pass or two-week furlough and hitched a ride
home or to a tourist destination, wherever the lads were going. More
often than not, it was three guys in a C-119 who themselves were on a
joy-ride for the weekend or two weeks. Training missions.

At this moment, there's a company in Texas cutting up the world's only
XC-99 transport and "palletizing" it. It will be taken in bits &
pieces to Wright-Patt by C-5A as planes & crews are available. Those
are training missions, too.

all the best -- Dan Ford
