First they speak English better than us...
Then they program computers better than us...
Then they become more capitalists than us....
Then they have Air Marshals that sound more American than us....
ARGH!!!!! The Indians are taking over!!!!!
The C-130 is one hell of a workhorse. I think they’ve been around since just after the Korean War [I call it a war]or maybe just a little later.
During my time in the Marines I had the opportunity to fly on them and see them in combat support roles and never failed to be awed by them.
Several years ago someone in DC got peeved and decided our 118th ANG Airlift wing should be dismantled and parceled out to other units around the country.This unit IINM is still the most decorated ANG wing in service. Our Governor lobbied hard and we were able to keep them intact in Nashville.
My heart rises into my throat if they’re throttling up the engines as I pass the airport or see a flight of three pass overhead.
