| chad jones , CA | i flew on TP-3A buno 151379 as a flight engineer in VP_MAU Moffett field, CA.
color weather radar was installed and we used it as a trainer/staff transport. we had fancy seats we installed for \"VIP\'s\" excelent aircraft. very light and powerfull. Loved the alchohol injection. 08/12/2001 @ 23:59 [ref: 2902] |
