[Milsurplus] military flying experience

[Mike Durff]

First, let me say a big thank you this list. I have now located & purchased an RBA,RBB & 2 X RBC ( also 2 power supplies) . I would never have found these radios had it not been for the fine folks on this list.

My first airplane flight was on a KC-97. It taxied up to base ops, engines running and oil streaming out... we crawled in thru the belly past all the APU & dynamotors running, I've never heard such a cacophony of sounds and strapped ourselves in. All the way to Lackland AFB ( Kelly Field) we were staring at thousands of gallons of fuel tanks inches from our noses. Not a pleasant experience. I had the pleasure of working on Douglas C-124's and C-130's.

Many thanks, MD
