You should start a thread..."Flew the Belfast?" I'll bet lots of good stories. At the end of position report, "and no signs of scurvy."

The amazing thing is, in the end very little tonnage is moved by air. Desert Storm, air was only about 4% of tonnage and only half by C-5. And we were flat-out most of the time. It is all the high-value stuff that moves by air. On the C-5, our biggest customer was AF tactical units or huge Navy stuff that wasn't urgent, just only feasible by air. Moved many Navy loads because moving overland was just impossible. A400 is just a modern (?) Belfast.
