| Rob Placerville, CA | I was there the day (mid 1990's) they flew "Bataan" out from where she had sat for close to 20 years located at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. I even helped to strip out some of the interior to lighten the load as the field was a very short one. She was eager to fly again as she fairly leapt into the air that afternoon and flew off in one hell of a roar! 03/04/2007 @ 17:38 [ref: 15764] |
| Paul Baker Grand Rapids, MI | This is one of the very first aircraft I ever worked on stationed at Travis AFB in 1969-70.
It was one of my worst experiences as well. I was part of a crew of enroute maintenace aircaft inspectors and when the oil truck came up to fill the oil reservior I went out and grabbed the hose and dragged it into the aircraft as the oil tank was just behind the cockpit in the cargo bay. Well, nobody ever told me there was a rubber bladder at the bottom of the tank and when the oil level came up to the top after about 20 gallons of oil, it started pouring right back out on the rebound. What a mess!!! I tried as best as I could to keep it in with my hands pressed over the opening, but after about a minute I just gave up and let it go. I felt like a jerk. I went outside and everyone was laughing at me. Oil was seeping out of the bottom of the aircraft through the seams in the fuselage and dripping all down the centerline of the tarmack in a long line. 05/11/2002 @ 00:17 [ref: 4923] |
| Jim Murray Dayton, OH | Understand PIMA has Eisenhower's Connie. What is tail # and where is it exhibited. I work at AF Museum in Dayton and yesterday one of our visitors who lives in Indiana was wearing one of your TShirts. We got talking and found out that you have Ike's bird. Small world when working in an aircraft museum. You meet very interest and informative people 09/02/2001 @ 07:15 [ref: 3095] |
