I'm looking at this picture for a good 30 seconds or more, looking for the
damn Hercules......


.....then the light came on.....




I'm not slow, it's just how they dress me.

Sorry about that. Never even thought of it that way. How many hours have I
flown in C-130's :-)

Probably enough to not use the pee-o-phone unless you see someone else use

Only the Caribous had them. When I used the Herc, we had a plush toilet up
the back ;-)
although I did see a loadie use the **** Phone on the Caribou with another
caribou up our arse for a photo shoot once :-)

Here's one. The camo's almost as good as that on Glenn's shots. I

There's something about the Herc - Even though it's over 50 years old, it
still looks like it's 'new' - maybe 'purposeful' is a better word.
