ps Shame that. Going to miss seeing them fly around. But really, that's a plane only a mother could love :-)

Then I must be a mother.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Sad, eh OG. As a civilian, loved going down to Pope for the airshows. And with a couple of secret squirrels in the family got close.

Boooo! I know you're just kidding, Piper!

It's gets stuff around, trains and then drops brave men to do their worst, and then drops them their supplies. But I'm biased! pilot

"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11

Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:11

You know it, the C-130 is such a storied aircraft. Still a shame the shrinking of the services for Bragg.
Think they will regret their decisions in the long run.
