Bill Thomas  Sarasota, FL	I flew as second radio on TE00 (131654) from 1962 through 1964. Does anyone know where 131654 ended up? It would be nice to talk to someone from that time period. 12/07/2007 @ 06:13 [ref: 18831]
Don Payton  Cheyenne, WY	NEVER knew anybody associated with Connies to be bashful nor humble about the airplane or what it could do. "Did I ever tell you about the time in Connie, when we ...." 08/03/2006 @ 18:22 [ref: 13799]
Joe Bradish  Chesapeake, VA	To this day I'm still in love with the R7V/C-121J. Got my first and only exposure from 1969 to Janurary 1971 flying as a radio operator and maintenance electrican on BUNO 131659 out of NAS AGANA, Guam. Shared a hangar with VW-1 who had BUNO 131654 and If I remember right VQ-1 maintained BUNO 131655 at the time ot of ATSUGI. Flew many,many R&R flights throughout the far east and also many trips to Sydney taking R&R and Townsville Australia hauling VAP-61 maintenence crews. Flew with flight engineers Gary Oulman,J.R.Ward and a Chief Campbell. We made many trips to DaNang etc.,etc. Sometime still long for those days as they were lots of fun. Our second home was Sangley Point, PI. 01/12/2006 @ 15:40 [ref: 12132]
Allan Prevette  Camarillo, CA	The R7V/C-121J was a fine machine. I was introduced to these beauties when I was a flight engineer in AEWBARRONPAC, 61-63. My next exposure was in 1971 when VQ-1 and VW-1 merged and BUNO 131654 came with the deal. Lots of memories of hauling squadron people and cargo, motorcycles and cars from Japan, porcelain elephants from Vietnam, furniture from Taiwan and painted label San Miguel beer from the Philippines. 02/10/2005 @ 16:35 [ref: 9413]
