Good ole Lady be good.

When I was at Wheelus AFB in Tripoli her propellers stood at the front gate back in 1967.

I was there when we were kicked out of Wheelus by a young punk named Quadaffi.

Lots of memories come back to mind when I hear the name of that good old plane. I always wonder if they brought the propellers back to the USA when we finally closed the base.

Did you ever see the made-for-TV movie "Sole Survivor" with Richard Basehart and William Shatner?

It was a loosely-based story about the "Lady Be Good". Very hard to find but entertaining overall ...
