We had an AC-47 at NKP, Thailand.
One night the crew chief, or another crew member decided ( very drunk) he wanted to fly it. But who knows what dwells in the mind of a drunk.
He forgot to take all the gust damper boards off, crashed on takeoff, burned and died.

The next morning on the way to the bomb dump, we could see burnt hulk on the taxi way. Big secret at the time, but it leaked out over a few days though. But I have no ideal how much of what I heard was true, But there was enough left to tell it was a C-47, and I never saw the AC-47 again.

That's how you corral Mustangs two by two.

Martin P4M Mercator - 21 built (including 2 prototypes).
Lost the competition to the P2V Neptune but 19 production aircraft were ordered in 1947 for aerial minelaying, entering service in 1950.
Starting in 1951 18 were modified for electronic reconnaissance (SigInt) duties, in which duty they served until retired in 1960.

Two turnin & two burnin.

[strike]Nope. See above - the P4M never got any jet engines.[/strike]

{edit: Oops - I was mistaken! }
