RE: C-124 Globemaster
Thanks Jerry:
true story, when we use to live at Travis AFB in Ca. My dad use to fly with the 98th 135's and 52's. He had brought home a inner tube from a C-124. Needless to say we blew it up and put it in the back yard. Well all the neighbor kids would come over and jump on it. Well one fine afternoon we decided to launch some people.
I was first on the list. I stood back and started my run. As I hit the tube everyone else hit the tube at the same time. I was launched so hi I could see my dog looking at me form the front yard. ( I cleared the roof ).
Thank god when I landed I hit flat as a board and knocked all the wind out of me. And scared the crap out of my family.
