Regarding the note about one of the C-97 "B-377 HI-481" crashing on Mexico City.
I actually flew in this aircraft!!!. 4 months prior to the crash.
I was on a personal aviation Photo. tour in the USA March/April 1987.
I pre arranged as part of the tour a free "Hitchhike" out of Miami to San Juan
with Aerochago who then operated the three KC-97 freighters out of Miami.
The reason for trip was to photograph the Aerochago "Connie". L-749(F)
HI-422
I had a night flight in the C97 out of Miami 0400 departure, sitting upfront for the flight to Santa Domingo. One of the most fantastic Flights of my life.
On arrival at Santa Domingo I was then stranded for 36 hrs, the events/situation I was left in is another very involved "adventure"
The next day I not only photographed the "Connie" , it was to my amazement and pleasure that I then flew in it to San Juan, the most fantastic experience, again too much to cover in this post.
I do have load of Pics of these flights and aircraft, but on "Slides".
As and when I get the quality nikon scanner I want, then I will put Pics. on this thread .
OPF
