| Ah, yes, good ole McGuire AFB. My home from March, 1971 to Oct. 1974. 30th Military Airlift Squadron. First kid was born in Fort Dix Army Hospital. Memories! |

| Fort Dix hospital was my first physical - my MEPS before I even went in! It's not a bad area too. Hey R-2800 where in NJ are you from? I grew up in Old Bridge/Matawan.

| right there next to the base, Browns Mills, my dad works on the KC-10 C-17 he misses the 141 that was his baby  It's neat though when the Blue Angels practiced 2 years ago they flew over our ouse at around 500 ft-700ft in formation for like three days it was awesome!!

When I was back in Pensacola the Blue Angels were always flying around in the off season practicing. They actually have bleachers and all where you can sit and watch them.

Notice what he said about the C-141. The C-141 earned a high regard from who ever came in contact with it. The C-17 has a long way to go to fill its boots. Quote:
