I got to see one of those at Andersen AFB in 1973 when the RAF dropped by
for a refuel on their way to Australia. I didn't realize how big it was
until I got up close. The closest thing we had of the same size and weight
was the C-133.

I have vague memories of seeing one at the Abbotsford air show back in
'69 or '70. Think I might have a crappy 126 slide somewhere... was
one of the first air shows I attended in my yoot.
