I had the great fortune to be the "Group Weather Officer" for the 616th MAG, Elmendorf AFB, AK, and got to ride on the 17TAS C-130's to several remote Alaskan radar sites. A great bunch of guys and a delightful aircraft! Some of those sites had runways that butted up against mountains; as the FLIPS said, "Successful missed approaches improbable". Slight understatement!

Country: | *LOL* Sounds alot like the runway at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. The Navy has a squadron or two of P-3's over there (my ex was with one of the squadrons). The takeoff was no prob, it headed out to sea. The landing, however....the planes had to come around from the south, almost brushing up against the mountains. Dunno of any accidents because of that, but I've heard tales of leaves being found in the underbelly after a rookie tried to land.

Country: | Sad to say, a 130 didn't make it into Sparrevohn AFS shortly before I arrived. He was carrying a trailer full of fuel, too. We had to fly right over the burn spot on final.

Country: | A little bit of explaining on this one: AFM (AFR) 35-10 was the reg regarding physical appearances, including haircuts and grooming. Men's mustaches had to be within the vermillion corners of the lips and couldnt' overlap the lip (Don't ask me about women's mustaches!  ).

Country: | All good things must end, so this is the last of my collection. It's either 6 months early or 6 months late; you make the call!
It's been a pleasure sharing these with you guys!

Country: | RabidAlien, I've looked and looked. I wish there were more. 
I DID run across the following site though: Reasoner
The art work is typical Sage Brush. Beyond that, I have nothing more. I would love it if someone else could find --- and post--- more Sage Brush.
