C-124 Globemaster
So Max it is for you now.
The "V" in the designator told me it was the luxury transport, but I really thought the C-117 was the big Boeing. What was the mil desig of the 707?
When I went into a USN field I often used your light bird's trick, calling in I would ID myself as "Captain Robison" and as often as not I'd get a good parking spot. Of course the swabbies would get torqued when they saw a "Yewsaff" O-3 climb out of the plane.
Pleasant memories.
Gooney Bird, Dakota, Skymaster, been nice if were just faster.
Bill.
