| Wayne Brown , TX | Your list of past users should also include the 463rd Tactical Airlift Wing, Dyess AFB, TX. This unit included the 772, 773, 774 TAS. I logged time in several of the 1974 series while assigned to the 773. My time was logged in late 76 soon after the H-Models began to arrive to replace the 1963 E'series. Thanks for helping to mark the history of the Herk! 02/11/2005 @ 08:53 [ref: 9418] |
