went to sheppard AFB for A&E school in sept.1951 i remember the tri engine air craft parked on the far end of the flight line.the instructor said the air craft could not crry the weight they were in tended for.I went to sheppard a number of time after.they were gone.I had heared that some entepranure bought them for next to nothing and sold them in south america as bush planes. 01/21/2008 @ 11:52 [ref: 19383] |
| Bill Sherwood Phoenix, OR | In 1951 I attended A&E school at Sheppard A.F.B. The C-125's were used as classrooms. The instructor sat in the right hand seat, the student in the left, the rest of the class sat in the back. The student started the engines, did checks, etc. Thought I'd never see one of these again - brought back a lot of memories. 01/19/2007 @ 18:49 [ref: 15229] |
| Darrel Rose Arlington, TX | Boy, did this bring back some memorys. I was attending
A&E school at Sheppard Air Force Base in 1950. There were several of these C-125's parked in a field and no one seemed to know anything about them. I remember the interior padding or liner that had the cris cross stitching . Sorry fellows I don't remember what the proper term is for the material used. They were beautifully made aircraft, but I could never understand why Northrop of all people would make a 3 engined plane that is so dated for the time. 09/24/2006 @ 09:53 [ref: 14276] |
