June 28, 200619 yr This last weekend was my reserves UTA and while I had a nice dayshift schedule on a beautiful day I used my lunch break to take some pictures at a park on McChord AFB by a old C141B. 72 Skylark Custom Convertible 71 Camaro RS Z/28 I am so looking forward to driving the Skylark down to Reno for Hot August Nights.
June 29, 200619 yr great looking cars and the C-141B is a damn fine airlift aircraft despite its age, too bad the Air Force retired them....
June 29, 200619 yr Author Well, considering the wing cracks that developed after the A models were stretched to make the B model and that their airframe was getting very tired, it was time to retire them. There are still a few C141 C models flying around. The C17 works well in the C141s place.
