who, when, what??? ME too. 63 OMS/MAW. 1983-1993. 60184

Loadmaster huh? Respect for you, you guys were busy fellows. My dad was captain, but he loved working with the crew: co-pilot, flight officer, and loadmaster. Good times! He speaks fondly of those days.

I thought they got replaced by the C-130s all this time until I saw your comment. I stand corrected and thank you.

Shepard eh? My dad worked their too. Cool.

Ex maintenance man.....I worked on her from 1967 to 1980. Crew chief to enroute maintenance. She was a lady..........sorry to see go.

We call you navy pukes bed warmers !Go to sea,drink coffee,deploy marines !

Hey rbogota, I was an AO in the Navy. The Navy has more aircraft than the Chair Force and has more skilled pilots. I'd like to see an Air Force pilot land on a carrier at night while it's storming.

Thanks My dad was a C141 pilot Dad was based outof McChord AFB from 1963-1973. Once, Commander of the Air Transportation Squadron. He flew many missions, Asia, Vietnam, and one carrying President Nixon's Limo's/secret service , when he did his world tour. My dad loved flying those planes, and he enjoyed taking us, as kids to the base, and watching the planes take off at the end of the airfield. A memory I will never forget, and still think of today when I watch the C-17s fly around the area.

Incredible! You must have lived a very similar life as I. My dad too: c141 pilot, McChord, Asia, Desert Storm, carried Snr. Bush and Reagan's limo, I too spent lots of time on that base. My favorite memory is when I rode in a KC-10 refueling a C-141 watching the guys work the boom. That is awesome to meet someone with so many commonalities. Keep rocking! :)
