Lee,
Only two things that fall from the sky: bird sh.t and airborne. Clickity  
clank, off to the flank, here comes the tank.

Bob,

The first five times I ever flew in my life were in  130s & 141s at
airborne school.  To this day I've never landed in  one.  Certainly
helped my fear of heights and  flying.

Lee

Rummy;

If you don't mind saying, what years  did you ride in the tank? I'm also
curious about the temperature inside  them in the summer or hot climates?
A/C? In any event, thanks for your  service. (Same to you Bob.)  Bob,
were
you an aircrew member? What  types?
