I had a 6 week deployment to Rosy Roads, PR back in 1976. My wife flew down for a week and we hitched space available seats to St Thomas on the spare parts & personnel flight.
You guessed it, a C-1 COD! My wife thought it was a hoot flying in it!
Grumman Iron Works!
I agree. But man...these pigs are OLD! Trying to find repair books on systems is like trying stay sober on election day.
Re:Grumman, I have some non-driver seat time in the old Mohawks...not a bad ride from a bus company...;)
