Snow Chinski 1963

My first flight. Was in an RCAF C 130 (Herc) on a winter exercise from Calgary to Camp Wainwright Alberta. We were on winter exercise in Feb. 1963. All the vehicles on board were white washed. On coming in to land I was lying on the hood of a jeep watching out a port hole. On touching down the props were reversed of course. Slide off the hood with leaving a long streak on the jeep with the white wash on my parka. Great laugh enjoyed by the crew and my Sgt. Eventually I ended up being in charge of flight feeding in CFB Winnipeg. So not only flew on many of the Herc's but fed the crews to.
