: : Been looking at all the photos and I am reminded of a funny story when we had Hawkeye at TSN. When the airplane arrived it was the first camouflage aircraft on the base. we were taxiing out for our first mission and the tower operator kept telling us he couldn't find us on the ramp. Finally Businger told him we were the camouflaged C-47 and his response was: "Oh, that is why I can't see you!" We all had a big laugh over that.
: ::: Hey Dave, I had forgotten about that, but I do remember you damned near threw my ass out of the plane when I said " let's go back and see where that AA fire came from." Naw --- I wasn't worried
: except I was standing in the doorway with no chute on.
: Ciao Buddy.
Sorry 'bout that last blurb --- guess I was wearing my chute --- but considering where we were I would have been a dead duck anyway. BTW - Did we get in hot water over that??? ---Cya
