| Doug Allen, Msgt USAF Reti. Yucaipa, CA | I started working on RC-135M's at Yokota AB, in 1967, they were right out of modification to RC's by E-systems of Greenville, TX. 62-4131 was the first one we received, then 135, 132, 134,138 and 139. The unit then moved to Kadena AB, Okinawa in late '67. I moved up to Crew Chief on 62-4134 for a short time, then to 62-4139 for the last year before rotating back to Andrews AFB. I was at Andrews from late 1969 until mid '77, I worked 62-4130 with Msgt Baily, then Msgt Smith as Crew Chief's Then went to 62-4125 with Msgt Tipsword as the boss, I took over as Crew Chief in mid '74 until Dec. '75 when I went C-137B 58-6970. Mid '77 I went PCS to Ramstein AB, Germany where I was Flight Chief on 62-4125 for four years. Boeing builds GREAT airplanes. I worked on aircraft for over 45 years and the C-135B is one of the best. 04/03/2010 @ 08:57 [ref: 25972] |

That was a great time, and I can't believe those planes are still flying. They were all M models back then. 06/27/2008 @ 22:35 [ref: 21708] |
