I acquired over 3,000 hours on 130's before moving on to 141s, then to 27s (Panama), and finally to 17s before my final stint to the TALCE. I was fortunate to love every assignment I ever had.
Awesome!! I will try to find some of my old pics. Served from 1988-2012.
Best thing I ever saw was dropping Spec Ops off in Northern Iraq during Desert Storm. Loaded up with ATV's, Dune Buggies, etc......landed at a "strip" in "somewhere" , dropped the ramp while still rolling down the runway, Spec Ops rolls out the back and into the night, we raise the ramp and take back off. Less than 2 minutes. Unreal.
