He might want to visit a doctor and get that engine checked.

Not to mention the WC-135B that became the first OC-135B – 61-2674 (currently with AMARG I believe).

Also the DM A-10s 75-0293 and '294 – of which '94 crashed at the Paris Air Show six days later.

And the Blackbird (61-7958) in static. Remember seeing this towed across from its big hangar about 6am that morning.

Oh yes, a very good show!!

Don't remind me!!

Those bring back memories (distant ones I'll admit!) Must see if I have any 126 instamatic "blurs" somewhere...

Was a great show, I have a picture of the YC-15 with a C-5 Galaxy in the background which we walked through :-) does anybody know which one it was ? Great thread :-)
Struggling to insert the picture ?

[Nighthawke]

1977 C-5A was 69-0018 of 436th MAW from my records


PS - Not often we get a near-6 year old thread resurrected!
