Well Kurt, if we can get the tankers back up, I could probably arrange for
you
to ride along in the C-54 at some point.
Certainly not during the fire season, but during a reposition back to the
tanker base at the end of season.

Not quite a D model Vark, but at least you can get up, walk around.

Ron,

Bring that bird by here and I'll accept!

You don't need cosmic avionics and big cookers to have fun slipping the
surlies. My restaurant customers often ask me to compare flying an Air Force
fighter to a Cessna 172. I reply that it is better to be up there flying
"anything" than it is to be down here flying "nothing". They usually get the
message.

How is that C-54 floor treating your knees?

;-)
