Those are sure some tough old brutes, didn't realize any were still active. IIRC, they first flew in 55 or so. Also the C-130s, still the workhorse, came on line about the same time. Spent 63 - 65 at Eglin, Fl. Interesting to watch them do some test bomb runs at Range 52. Then a month or so later see reports in Stars & Stripes about new tactics in Nam. Awesome to see a 52 come across the range right on the deck, below radar, them pull up a bit to make the drop & scoot under the radar again. Don't remember how many chutes they used, but watched tanks dropped from 130s, crew bail out of another, & drive it away. Most test drops successful, but a few failed. Got a chance to get up close/personal with the very first C - 141 before it was accepted for production, think that was fall of 64. Willie
