It was 1999 and I was 19 years old. I had the raddest job I was a MC-130 H/P crew chief stationed in Mildenhall England. I got to deploy all over the place with my plane I was the 2nd wipe on the plane so I went where she did and did the maintenance when we hit the ground. We did troop drops, food drops, in-flight helicopter refuels and everything else in between it was awesome I sure miss it. When you are in the moment you never really realize all the things you are seeing and doing i sure wish I could do it again. I found a bunch of cool pics I shot on deployments I will post a couple here and there good times

ReplyDeleteI flew into Incirlik AFB (Adana, Turkey if you want to find it on a map) several times for NATO exercises with the USN, VQ2 from 1971 - 1973. Unbelievably hot in the summer and colder than a well diggers ass in the winter.
