I used to fly gliders out of Kelly Air Park, about halfway between
Colorado Springs and Denver. Good lift, up around 14,000', and it
wasn't unusual to see a C-130 or a B737 go by. Not a near miss, but
close enough to catch your attention.

When I got out of Air Force flight training I chose a slot to fly a
C-130 out of Langley AFB. The Powers That Be changed it to a C-121 out
of Korat, then an AC-119K out of Phan Rang.

The rest, as they say, is history. :)


Wow.

I just did a little surfing, and came up with a AC-119 page, that had
specifications of the plane, and another page of links to some stories about
missions.

I read a couple of them. WoW, again.

You 'been through some sh*t, huh Walt?

Wow.

Not as much as many other people on this list. I've had a pretty good
life, when you get right down to it.
