Air Force investigating intermittent engine failure on aircraft.
And in many cases, the enlisted crew (and guests) got some right seat
time... Naw! Mine got "left seat" time.....and thought that they were great pilots with the "control wheel stearing" ON. :-) My father (the Staff Sargent radio operator) got left seat time in C-119's in the early 1950's flying Western Europe and North Africa. |

However, it proudly carries it all the same, linked from: http://www.raf.mod.uk/gulf/colours.html Buster Gonad is a character from a comic called Viz, as are Tray and San, the Fat Slags, seen here on a Hercules. http://www.viz.co.uk/ -- |
