do miss it also. Working on the planes was fun and challenging. </div></div>

I was an aircraft maintainence specialist over 4 engines, frozen to the C5 at Dover AFB, but when I went to England, Mildenhall AB, I got way deep into working on all three. We did a lot of assists when the specialist came out at Dover, but it was in England and Germany that I honed engine changes and everything else from fueling to LOX service to walking on the top of the C5 T-tail to change that one light bulb that sticks way out back of the bullet. Yes it was fun. I can't tell you how many flashlights I dropped from C5 T-tail height. Can you say look out below??? real loud from 65 feet up??


When I was in England we always had a lot of the Pope reservist come over to help on their 2 weeks. I think they really came to drink at the pubs...a lot of them were begging to stay after their 2 weeks were up.
