Nice shot, Jim. A bit of nostalgia for me. I have been in and around a
lot of them in the past. I worked as a Radio Mechanic in the USAF for
several years. When the C-54s were taken to Europe for the Berlin
Airlift, they ran the Military Air Transport Service trans continental
passenger service with C-47s. I was assigned to the MATS detachment
that ran that service in '48. Rode a number of them as a passenger
later during my service. A real work horse.
