SAC B52

Thanks again! and bigen that CH is real pretty! I love that shot of the mountains behind it. I have a real cool pic somewhere of a H-67 laying in a field in North Dakota when I was there in the 80's I 'll try to find it later. And off topic again, mowerman i'll try to dig up pictures I have of a inflight refueling mission high over the Sierra Nevada range about 40K feet if i remember. Pretty neat stuff, we were on our way to a bombing competition at Mather AFB outside Sacramento. I was in the KC-135 Tanker getting pics of my B-52 getting refueled.Here's a shot of me (on the left) and my two buddies after we landed in Sacramento. We left North Dakota it was 4 degrees out and landed at Mather AFB and it was 65. The troops at Mather had jackets on, they were laughing at us in our T-shirts.

Yeah, I noticed that P#TE#B!L$ stuff is pretty bad! I'm sorry for any offense. It's all ok though, us Jersey guys have pretty thick skin, it's from drinking all the Mercury in the water when we were kids.

Thank you both for the kind words, I would have to thank my country and veterans before me, to have the honor to serve this great land. Please remember all the fallen and wounded who have made the ultimate sacrifice on this Memorial day. I have to say it was the way I was raised.We all served in my family and my Dad and both Grandpa's and Unncles the list goes on. We basically have one Uncle left,from WW2 who flew as a B-24J liberator top turret gunner out of Wendling England. Another Uncle was lost at age 18 when his B-17 was shot down over Germany. My little girls remember them every night at dinner time when we are together as a family.

Thanks Mowerman! Yeah SAC stand for Strategic Air Command, I used to be a B-52H Crew Chief up in Minot, N.D. Thanks for the Compliment on the Truck.

Thanks alot! Yeah, it's pretty basic just brute power no chrome or fancy paint. I get a ton of compliments for a primered old Hot Rod. I can't believe how many college age girls go crazy over it. My wife say's this old truck gets too much attention!. It's alot of fun, my four kids fight to drive around in it but you can only really fit two people in the cab, it's very small.

Sorry Gentlemen, I figured it out! I put a little more info in there. I don't own any Semi's, just drove a few. I do however have a cool little 47 Ford pickup with a 500HP 472 Big Block Ford, that will haul some you know what!

Just wanted to say hi, and introduce myself to the forum. I'm a former driver now working in a different field. I've been around semi's my whole life minus my time in the Air Force, because of my dad, I fell in love with them when I was just a little guy. He use to drive an H-63 and 67. He later changed jobs and drove a 63' Emeryville COE.I've driven F's-R's-U's and Superliners during my carrer along with KW'S COE and Conv, Freighliners COE and Conv, Pete's both COE and Conv. My favorite trucks to be around are any but I really love H-67's especially tandem!. I always liked the way they sat high on the frame. My dad brought home a new 1978 Transtar II Cabover when I was younger and I loved the way they sat high on the frame also.Anyway, fun to be aboard!
