Airplane Pics

[Alpha2]

Hey, Hoser, regarding those pics of your Hurks, (which we called Balloons or Wind-Wagons in the Coast Guard and my brother in the Marines called herky-pigs) remind me that not long after I took the pics previously posted in this thread, our replacement Hurks had tanks between 1&2 and 3&4 like yours, I think they were "F" models. Been a REALLY long time I could be wrong. Either that or we had E or F's, and got "H" models, heck, it was the mid '70's! They didn't even whiz-quiz back then, I'm lucky I remember it was the Coast Guard.

Imagine what those aux tanks did for "time on station" on our SAR missions over the Pacific.
