| Mitch Breese Ojai, CA | I was a Primary Crew Chief on several C-141A from 1969-1972, I loved working on the Star lifter. The tail numbers of some of the aircraft I worked on were, 65-249, 65-250, 65-251, 65-252, and 65-256. I was stationed at Travis AFB, Fairfield, California, MAC, 602 OMS. Thanks for the memories. 11/09/2007 @ 18:15 [ref: 18485] |
| Paul Vrahiotes Warner Robins, GA | I was a Crew Chief on the C-141A from 1978-1981 until these babies were stretched to "B" models. The "A" model has a special place in my heart but I came to appreciate the stretch model aircraft and it's ability to in-flight air refuel. This sure helped get you home quicker after several ong weeks in Europe or the Far East.
One comment was about the exhaust coming in through the aft doors during air drops, man that is right on, there many an Army troops who did exactly what you said and puked everytime we opend those doors. Ahh! The good ole days!! 09/11/2007 @ 12:31 [ref: 17903] |
