I was a crew chief on a T-29 at Westover AFB Mass. in the late 60's. 51-3814. shagtrucker@aol.com

Served in the 15th AMTS Brookley AFB.We had 5 C-131A'S used for AIR EVAC.

was roomy of sgt. terry dillow on c131 141012. i was crew chief on those 2 c131s. on leave at time of crash, refused to quqlify them guys for crew chief. someone else took em out. they didnt even do a preflite. thats how bad big shots wanted returnin veit vets to fly the west caost vip plane. dam dam damn. was a magnificent ac.was cc for 2 yrs, flew on crew for 4, was from metaL SHOP. knew all them guys. rip terry dillow.

I found the date on the c-131 crash. it was 26 Sept 1975 and there was 6 man crew 4 fatal 2 survived. they staed that the air craft lost alt. thats not true. IT NEVER gained alt
This flight should not have taken off. there was something put in the controls that didnt alow the yoke to be pulled all the way back. If the run up had been perfromed corectly they would have taxied back to the hanger

I was stationed at MCAS El Toro from 1973 to 1978 with H&HS Station El toro in the flight equipment shop and later worked at the visiting air craft line. I spent time getting crew cheif qualed in the 2 c-131'we had. Is there anyone out there that remembers when we lost 1 of them that crashed after take off. I was tasked with the recovery of this aircraft and can't seem to remember exactly when it happened. I do remember that both pilots were Majors and that there was only 1 surviver. If anyone has more imformation on this plaese contact me.

Serving in the US Coast Guard in Mobile Alabama, We used the C-131A as an interim . As a CG 'Flight Engineer' loved
flying in this great airship . Always a thrill, never a
dull moment. We all walked away . Great times ,great guys.

I was stationed at Brookley A.F.B Mobile Alabama 1957-1960 in the 15th AMTS. We had 5 C-131A's. IT was a great airplane to work and fly on.

I was at RAF Mildenhall 1973-75, serving as flight mech. on 899, was on 2 different flight crews to take the planes to tuson Az. boneyard. I was also on the crew that took 899 to Duxford. I also flew on a D model in Duluth Min.1970-72

I was certified as an "orderly", too on VR-21's R4Y's. in the '50's. I also was plane captain on same aircraft and our COD fleet of TF-1 Traders. Best duty I had. Loved to fly and took every flight I could. We delivered "parts" to bases that weren't even on the map. COD flights were exciting, too. Loved traps and launches. Biggest thrill of my life.

I probably was the pilot on one of the T-29's you were on, as I was stationed at James Connally from 64' to 66' after a tour in Turkey flying 29's. Enjoyed it a lot.

I was stationed at Mildenhall England from 1969 to 1973. I was the crew chief of T-29B 51-3816 and also flew as a flight mechanic. Initially the unit had C-47's but transitioned to the T-29. We had B, C and D models. They were great aircraft for the courier missions that we supported. When the T-29's were retired, 51-7899 was palced on display at Duxford England. Sadly, I learned that a few years later it was scrapped on site.

I have over 5000 hours in the C-131 as an Air Evac pilot.
Truly reliable and fun to fly.

The T-29 was the first aircraft I flew on, I was stationed at Offutt Air Force Base. Nebraska from 1963 to 1966. I was a flying crew chief and mechanic,The T29 was a fantastic aircraft and a pleasure to fly.I retired at Travis A.F.B Ca. in 1986 as a CMSgt, 60 MAW Chief Flight Engineer flying C-141 aircraft

I work on the flight line for American Airlines at the Willow Run Airport during the early 51, 52 years. I remember they all would require oil on most stops and require wipe down so passengers would not be concerned. American flew many planes during those years.

I was an engine mechanic on the T29, stationed at James Connally AFB, Texas. There from summer of 1954 till June 1956. I hated those "dishpans". Also got back to the T29 at Offutt AFB, Neb. in 1964 and 1965. Great engine to work on!!!

I was a CC/Flight Mech on T-29 B-C-D's. I did a tour in Viet Nam from 1967 to 1968 on C 7A's at Vung Tau RVN. Sent in a consecutive oversaes and confused them. They sent me to LAAFS. [Los Angeles Air Force Station} I was a C/C on a T29B ???123B ;XXX179D . Can't remember the first #'s . I was allowed to become a Flight Mechanic. The Pratt Whitney engines on a T 29
- R2800-97[B] Max manifold pressure dry =53.5 wet 56.5 . C's&D's ran an R-2800-99's max manifold wet = 62" DRY 63" 115/145 FUEL . Did many transitions to the Mojave. Unusual attitudes engine shut downs etal and the best display of Doug B 26 "bombing" Ho Chi Minh trail trucks south of Edwards utilizing the Convair ...... Thanks Capt Pete Enjoyed it

I got to briefly crew on the Air Force model, the T-29 when in the Air Force. In later years, as a commercial pilot in Civil Air Patrol I got some stick time. What a rush.

I worked for Trans-Texas Airways 63 to 71, they had 20 240's and 25 DC-3's at the time. I was ramprat, did loadcompt, etc. 8 years with TTA, love the sound of those 2800's, flew on them, set in the jumpseat a lot on flights. they then changed them to Convair 600's with the RR engines, They made the airline a lot of money, over the years. Only had one crash that I remember. Helped the company mechanic's work on them, got my A&P in 1967, to me, an good running 2800 is an beautiful sound. Have hundreds of stories about them.
