I looked at all 170 pages to make sure I did not duplicate anything already posted. I did notice a fair number of repeats and some questionable use of copyrighted material, maybe a watchout there. Here are a couple of 552nd AEWCW RC-121D USAF images that I recently scanned at NARA II from RG342-B. True cold warriors.

"Born on the Bayou" A side? I can live with that, BUT can Robert Duval and R. Lee Ermey live with it? You don't want to get on the Gunnies bad side.

A little bit back the XC-99 was posted. Here are my recollections of the bird. The XC-99 flew for the USAF for several years as a Super heavy lift transport. I guess you'd say it was the C-5 of it's day. Used in Korea to move a lot of troops at one time and to haul lots and lots of cargo, it was retired to Kelly AFB but never broken up. Here she set all broken harted.

And here she is as the National Museum of the USAF is taking her apart to transport back to Dayton for restoration.
