You have very good reasons to be proud of both your 'kids.

I'm pretty proud of all three. I'm trying to talk my baby to come with me to Addieville. Actually she wants to come but works almost every Saturday.

Great parenting and great kids Edgar.

On another note Cindy was disappointed you were not in Vegas. Larry F, Dave S and you made up her inner circle of Parker friends from the vintagers a few years back and she was hoping to see all of you again..................another time and place.

Well, let's hope it rains on Saturday so she will come with you on Sunday, the rain date.

Edgar, I have about 5000 hours in the C-130 from A to H models. A great aircraft with no end in sight to its usefulness for varied missions. Your son is in a safe aircraft and one that can lead to many flying opportunities after eventual retirement from the Coast Guard. Thanks for raising a son of significance.

I have zero hours in any passenger, transport, or pseudo/combat aircraft, but I recently learned how to resize and successfully post e-mail and BBS-type digital photos, both off my iPhone and digital hand-held, and I really must say I have never looked so good!

Kevin, isn't technology wonderful? I find it remarkable that it can make the homiliest look good.

A little tidbit on the skis used on the C-130. They are classified as a "strategic weapon" so Lockheed is not allowed to sell a ski-equipped Herc to anyone outside of the United States, and maybe/likely not to anyone but the US military.
Interesting factoid #2: The early C-130's had a problem with the nosewheel hydraulic strut failing for some reason, corrosion or wear, something. An old time mechanic here in Fairbanks, Hutch Hutchinson", a local legend in Alaska, had an idea and procured a worn out strut cylinder from the boys at Ladd Field and used his ancient belt-driven lathe to turn a liner, stainless steel maybe, for the strut then gave it back to them to try. It worked so well that Lockheed to this day makes them that way and the issue went away. That lathe ended up in the garage of Hutch's son in law, a well-known WWII cold weather test pilot here in town(Randy Acord), which is where I saw and played with it a bit. I think it is now in the shop of our local railroad club and is still being used to restore RR equipment.
