When I was in the USAF back in the early 1960s, the only USAF planes I rode were the venerable C-121 and C-124. Then as a civilian DOD employee, I rode C-130s into and out of Vietnam and Panama, C-141s all over South America and even piloted a C-12 for about 20 minutes over the Saudi desert. My daughter was on a 4-month deployment to CENTCOM forward at Al Udeid AB in Qatar, and rode C-130s abd C-17s in and out of Afghanistan. The torch has been passed to the next generation.
