Cool pix!

Seen 'em, don't recall interacting them, except to track them with our fifties. (Fast movers bombed time zones.)

 

Yeah, my brother worked on 'Varks. We met in Bangkok once. He was married at the time so he totally didn't appreciate "A Night in Bangkok."

 

Been a while and I couldn't have named them when I saw them. Just more trash haulers, like the C-130 except when they shit out a daisy cutter.

 

Closer view, yeah, I've seen 'em, STOL planes were in demand for dust-offs as well as cargo.

 

Mostly right.

 

I'm 1/2 mammal, 1/2 lizard, and 1/2 tiburon.

 

British?

 

German Navy takes a dive? 1918?

 

Bimbo!

 

Just a mere scrapa flow in the larger picture.

 

Uncle Don flew the Caribou in late 60's in Vietnam. One quick tale ; I was telling him about watching a C-5 taking off from the local Airport and it looked like it was barely moving. He said, " I flew the C-7 in Vietnam and you can imagine how BIG that was"! And yeah I was impressed, but then later realized this was Uncle Don I was talking to. Still I was in awe and impressed. Years later while walking the static display at an air show spotted a sign by a twin engine mini-C130. Walked up the ramp, started reading the placard discrimination of the aircraft, which told it's History of service in Vietnam and started laughing. One of the crew came over to me rather perplex and not a little pissed and asked me what I thought was funny. I told him the story of Uncle Don and a few of his stories of flying anything from milk cows and Dignitaries, And supplies to forward bases and his remark to a young impressionable kid many years ago.
