C 133

We were prohibited from carrying passengers, even additional crew members(ACM). I flew her out of Dover 1966-69, flying all over the world. The Air Force was reluctant to let us fly off the beaten path because of the difficulty of maintenance support. A 10 day trip from Dover to SEA and return would accumulate 80-90 hours flying time and from my experience usually included a 3 engine landing somewhere. Normally, engine shutdowns were a result of prop problems.
