What else besides Naval Aviation and SERE?
Did VR-21 fly C-130’s back in the olden days?
When I was in, we operated three 130-D’s. I was an AT and flew as a Radioman (73-75) in our C-118’s (coal haulers). I cross trained in the 130’s but only flew trainers and test duty in them. I got the “towel over face” twice at Warner Springs. Once in the holding area at the evasion course, and then later in the “resort.” Quite an experience, but worth it. I wouldn’t trade my experiences (though I bitched at the time) for the world. A lot of hours all over the WESTPAC, good liberty.
