I just thought a flight line full of B-52s was noisy back in the 1970's!

We were parked in the shade away from all the noise so all in all it was good show. There were 1630 trucks registered, who knows if they were all there but there was a lot of trucks and several older trucks scattered about. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Stop reminding me, it was bad enough and i want to forget it!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 2,985 Crusty Old Sarge | | Crusty Old Sarge Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 2,985 | Jeez, Bennie, I'm baking like a Toasted Cheeser...It so HOT out here!

The first time the wife and I shared a cabin with Jerry then the second time I was solo and shared a cabin with Jerry and Alvin that ended up with late night talks about our past adventures. Most of them I can’t tell to young person about what we did. They would not beleave us anyway.
