C124? Old Shaky had to spend a lot of time in the air, it was so slow!

Except when it broke down on Wake or Lajes or Goose Bay. It never broke in
Spain, HI, Japan, Germany or home.

Slow? Slow? Not compared to a C-47.
I once got a groundspeed of 270 knots in Shakey!

On second thought Lajes wasn't a bad place to break down.

Yes..always liked Lajes...great NCO's Club...honkin big rare
steak, bottle 'a Mateuse(sp)...then hit the bar...get
stinko...honk up the steak, stagger back to quarters...wake up
with a big head and dread the fast approaching 18 hour low level
patrol on the way home.

Thank *God* I'm retired...



BTW, what's MFE? (and I'm deaf as a post too)
