Futema here. KC130s. Sure loved the food out in town.

I was in communications, but the base was where the KC135's, flying gas stations for the B-52s that were stationed at Clark Air Base in the Philippine Islands bombing Viet Nam. I liked the food. Growing up we only ate rice as a desert, but really loved shrimp fried rice over there.

I have only seen 1 B52 in my life...was goose hunting near an AF base and one flew over at about 300 feet. Those things are HUGE.

They are a sight to behold! I watched a low altitude, low speed flyby at the Avalon Airshow in Australia last year. The crew flew non stop from Guam just to do the flyby and then flew back to Guam. I think it was a nonstop flight! Sure was leaving a black smoky trail too.

Yes, very awesome indeed. Darn things can carry about 35 tons of weaponry.

We could see it coming for miles and it looked to be flying really slow. Also absolutely no sound as it approached. Then it flew over us and we learned that they move pretty fast AND make a lot of noise.

Count me in as a goose counter! :laughing:

I only counted the ones I had shot back when I hunted.

I certainly will, for many reasons. He was a good friend and taught me alot.

This makes me hurt due to ease of access. I like to be able to reach in without looking and grab what I need. (efficiency needed with my chosen profession)

One of the most serious fights my wife (then in a fairly new marriage) and I had started from the "correct" way to fold towels in "thirds".

I fold them long ways from years in the army and hotels. She folds them wrong on the short side from her past working in B&Bs in order for the towels to fit in a narrow cupboard (or some such nonsense).
All of our towels are folded her way, I gave up.
But when I fold them when she's out of town or I end up doing them, I fold them my way and stick them in the cabinet in order to hear her muttering totally inappropriately words as she refolds them when she finds them!
