| Ray Dau Alexandria, Minnesota |  While stationed at Lackland AFB in 1957, I recall hearing this really loud rumbling aircraft overhead--I had no idea what this large beast was at the time. After a few inquiries, I found out that I was watching the one and only XC99. Man, that thing was huge! You could always tell when it was taking off from Kelly AFB right next door. I, for one, am really happy that it is being restored at Wright-Patterson AFB--I do hope to get to see it when it is done! As a side note, since there are so few B-36's (I believe only 4)left; I watched a B36 come in on its final flight and land at Chanute AFB--also in 1957. We had the opportunity to go through it before it went on static display. I guess you can't begin to realize how big these aircraft were until you actually got inside of them. I did get to see another at the Pima Air and Space museum (in process of restoration) this past winter--wish I could have gotten inside again!! 04/25/2008 @ 18:03 [ref: 7418] |
| Costello, William J Columbia., South Carolina | I started Basic training at Lackland AFB in July 1947. Sometime between July and September 1947, many of the trainees were assembled and a picture was taken of all of us forming the Air Force Patch. I am interested in getting a copy of that Photo is possible. I spent 21 years in the USAF and 14 years in the Army. Would appreciate anything that you can do to help me get that Photoe. 04/19/2008 @ 18:35 [ref: 7387] |

| David Slaughter Vidor, Texas | I remember those cards!!! I came across one a few years ago. My dad took me to see the XC 99 every year also. I have pictures of me in the left seat in the cockpit. Do you remember the red wooden gate they had in the cockpit to try and keep the kids out of the seats? We just ingored it and sat down as though we were going to fly. I remmber one year messing with the navigation light switch and saw the lights turn on on the wings. 05/04/2007 @ 05:30 [ref: 5899] |

| Ken Jackson Keny, Washington | I remember the XC99 from the time I was old enough to crawl. My dad took us there every year like clock work to tour the old girl. About 1969 she went through a complete restoration and they even fired the engines. The Expletives on the San Antonio city council decided to have a beauty project and wanted the XC99 destroyed and if you remember right they were on their way when the vetrans stepped in and were able to get her moved to the Texas Air National Guard facility just south of her old resting place. I tried to get the Pima Air Museum , and the air museum at Galveston to do something about her and never got a response. I am so glad that the museum at Wright Patterson was able to obtain her and will do a fantastic job restoring her. About a month before my dad passed away 17 years ago I took him to see her out at her old spot west of Kelly Field. It was one of his happiest dying memories. I have a picture of him with her in the back ground but with a fence between them. To this day whenever my mom sees something in the paper about the XC99 she sends it to me for my scrap book. How many people still have the little cards they gave out when you took the tour. I DO. I have 4 from when i was a kid. I am now 49 and those are the great memories of a kid growing up in South Texas. Thanks for the memories Ken Jackson Kent , Wa. 06/08/2006 @ 14:35 [ref: 5060] |
