Gregg Stephenson Saint George, SC | I was assigned to the 437th OMS at Charleston AFB in 1977. I eventually became crew chief of Tail # 65-217. It was a wonderful plane to work on. I moved up to DCM Staff in 1981 and handled air-crew de-briefing, plans and scheduling, and documentation. In 1985; I cross trained to Flight Engineer and was assigned back at CAFB with the 76th MAS. The 76th was de-activated and the 17th was re-activated taking it's place. I got out in 1989. Having known this aircraft from every perspective; I have to say it was a wonderful aircraft to work on and to fly. The men and women that worked on, supported and flew this aircraft were among the best and CAFB's performance records prove it. As a side note, I was one of the crew members that spent five days in Rio de Janerio, Brazil waiting for a replacement #2 engine due to #4 turbine wheel failure. Thanks to all. 09/25/2011 @ 12:09 [ref: 49239] |
Sgt Bill Cross Yoncalla, OR | I like the site. Brings back fond memories of the planes at Norton AFB from 1973-76 when I served there. I found it an easy plane to work with. Predictable, reliable, all sorts of compliments.
If you look up inside the back ladder in the tail, near the top, you will find my initials on every one of them, including NASA's L-300 Flying Observatory!
I loved the plane so much have a silhouette of 0176 tatooed on my arm with 63rd FMS/SPS below.
My job was hydraulics. 09/10/2011 @ 13:52 [ref: 48878] |
ron laurens, SC | I flew C-141's A&B, 130's E & AC. Last duty station was Travis, 7th MAS. Loved the big bird. But we all get old. 12/26/2010 @ 12:14 [ref: 35039] |
Patrick J Scarry Jr Monument Colorado, CO | I was assigned to Travis AFB in 1978 as a brand new crew chief (age 19). I looked like I was 12. I was assigned to the 602 OMS and worked the flightline the whole time I was there. For about a year I was the crewchief of (tail number)65-0025. I think I got the 65 part right. I had a great time but I remember working pretty hard when there was work to be done. I enjoyed my stay in Travis and saw much of that part of California. I cross-trained into computer electronics and made the AF a career. It paid off because now I am a retired and work and a Systems Security Engineer for Honeywell. 12/02/2010 @ 12:52 [ref: 33871] |

Dennis Delk Manassas, VA | I flew on the C-141 A&B models as a loadmaster out of Charleston S.C. from 1974 to 1985. What a great airplane and a shame it had to be retired. I had the pleasure of being on crew orders with my dad (MSgt Duane H. Delk) at various times when in the 3ooth MAS/315th Military Airlift Wing. Dad was in the 701st MAS as a Flight Engineer and knew the aircraft inside and out with over 15,000 hrs on various airframes. He retired with 41 years of service.
