The Herc will be around long after I'm in the ground.
Saw my 1st at VR-7 and 8 NAS Moffett Field 1964.
Flew in a P-5 and an SP-2H and a P-3A the same year.
Was just a kid then.

Looks alot like a P-3 "Orion". Same engines as C-130, but rotated 180
degrees.

I kinda figured you did Bob.
I was a 2nd mech then trying to figure out how to put the engine covers on.
My log book has 33 flights in it. Lots of coffee and steaks stolen from the
Air Force.
I'll eventually put a face with your name.

I saw this Herc in 1980 and again in 2002. In 1963 this aircraft was the
first and only Herc to land on an aircraft carrier.

'798 has finally retired to the National Museum of Naval Aviation.
