This is a special interest blog targeted for anyone interested in a very special USAF aircraft of days gone by, the C-133 Cargomaster. So this is YOUR blog! The goal is for the blog to take on a "life of its own" through an active dialogue. So add it to your Favorites list and check it out frequently for new Posts......and leave your Comments! Thank you!! Photo of S/N 90536 at Dover AFB, DE.
A grand event!
The LAST, LAST DOVER REUNION in May 2014 looks like it really was the last one! Of course our number of crew colleagues is dwindling, and the energy to plan another real reunion has evaporated.
We'll continue to maintain our e-mail list (currently 209 names), and occasionally send out items of common interest like Rick Spencer's notice about the "133s in the Sino-Indian War in 1962" that just went out. If you didn't get it, it might mean we've lost track of your current e-mail address. Let us know any updates.
HOWEVER, a few of us have talked about showing up in Dover together for an informal dinner/gathering sometime in the spring of the New Year, 2016.
If you're interested, please let me know at rehanson342@me.com .
