| What is it |
| David Duckett | 16-Apr-08 00:49 |
| It's a C-124 Globemaster. |

| David, you are correct. I flew on this to England when I was in the service. Don't the wings look like a B-29"s wings? |
| David Duckett | 16-Apr-08 09:48 |
| Yes and it also doesn't look like it could fly. These were regular visitors to Torrejon AB, just outside Madrid, when I was stationed there from 1960 to 63. I never flew on one but I did hear it referred to "Old Shaky" and that the 124 was the airspeed. |

| This one kept blowing jugs on number 3 engine. 3 times at the end of the runway, and back to be fixed. 4th time the charm. I saw one at Travis that was rigged wrong on the elevator, and 3 men killed when it crashed. |

| So right... Everyone on board was shaking when it finally took off. |

| That panel truck looks like my first car. A 1953 Suburban. |

| It was 1953 when I few in this shaky thing to England. |

| Must have been better than a "broom stick!" |
| Abby Marie | 16-Apr-08 17:03 |
| John, my broom never shook like these tin cans did. |

| You must fly a new version. My only shake was in a DC-3... unless you count Russian aircraft! |
