My happiest moment right now is testifying about Dr Ughulu for making me win the lottery mega millions. For over 5 years I have been playing the mega million, buying different kinds of tickets just to make sure I won. Still nothing could change for me to win. I did a little research on a google internet that's when I saw a lady who talk about Dr Ughulu at first I couldn't believe it I cut the site where I saw a testimony of Dr Ughulu, I made another research again and I still saw so many testimonies of this spell casters called Dr Ughulu, I just click his website because I have seen how people talked about him online so I contacted him and tell him I want to win the lottery mega millions, I followed his command and everything came out successfully I play the mega million game with the winning numbers Dr send to me I played it, when all results came out I was the winner. Do you believe Dr Ughulu made me win a very big amount of $273,000.000 millions dollars.

I love my husband so much and I did not lose hope and I kept praying and God finally answered my prayers…i searched online for a spell caster to help me unite me and my lover back forever and i saw so many testimonies of how DR BALBOSA has helped so many people online and i decided to give him a trial … I contacted him and explained to him. He told me not to worry that he will bring back my man within 24 hours. He consulted his powers and assured me not to worry .

Not my fiancé, not my boyfriend, but my husband! i still love him even though he thought i wanted to leave, i really wanted him to do better and stop me before i walk out! but rather my husband told me that he doesn't feel loved anymore, just because of this co-worker he has be cheating on me with, he said he wants a divorce, i was devastated, heart broken i begged him to listen to me that we can work it out like we always do, but he didn't listen, he told me that he met someone that loves and understands him, i begged him to consider our kids but he didn't listen. he left and i was frustrated, i began searching for help and answers, then i heard about a woman that can Cast a spell to remind him of all the things we have been through together and bring him back to me, at first I was scared then i decided to give it a try, and like magic my husband came back, apologize and begged for my forgiveness.

I am David Sarah, Before I was scammed, I thought those who fell for them were fools, but when I lost $40k in a binary options scam, I didn't even know it had happened until weeks later. The site and services I used seemed so genuine, and everything felt legit, but when they stopped answering my emails and messages, that's when I knew something was up. I was going to accept defeat until a friend advised me to contact Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery Service of which I did, they were incredibly helpful and worked hard to get all my money back. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who has been swindled of their currency.

I went out that day and I met with him and he asked us to rekindle and come back together. My wish was answered with the help of Priest Odunga, he is a real spell caster.

I was an MP at El Toro at the time of the crash. The pilot was LtCol Lewis, the AC/s G-2. The investigation showed that a LCpl who had received office hours from the co-pilot, Maj Collins, placed a wrench in a position where while the plane was level it did not affect anything, thus the controls worked freely, but when the plane rotated for takeoff the wrench slid back and jammed the tail controls. The crash was 26 Sept 1975. Plane 141012.

Add turboprops and a swept fin and you have a modern feederliner. As for being a DC3 replacement, that was never going to happen until fuel consumption became an issue.

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 joined the USAF in 1973, went thru Aircraft Maintenence School on KC-97's. First duty station was Rhien Main AB, Germany, and went to work on the 5 T-29 A's & B's and 1 C131 D Model. Greatest memories are because I was the youngest troop, and tallest, in the 322nd Tactical Airlift Squadron, I would be volunteered to remove the sheetmetal "dishpan" and undo all those Zeus Fastners around the outside edge of that firewall from standing on the main landinggear wheel. Also remember being told not to watch the engine blades to closely at night with a lightall shining as the blades would hypnotize you. All of our planes left in summer to fall of 1974 and I went to work on C-5A's and C141A's. Always loved the T-29's, and C131's---- wonderful birds....

Flew the CV-580 for a commuter airline in my career. It is built like a tank and a hot rod also!!

Braniff had a predominate fleet of CV-340's but also had CV-440's. Several of the BNF Convair 340's were sold to North Central Airlines and converted to CV-580's. N3428 was one I recall offhand. Those same aircraft also wore the Northwest colors after the NWA/RC merger.

I was stationed at Ellington AFB from Jan 1954 till July 1957. I flew the Convair over 2800 Hours for navigation training. They were flying classrooms for training navigators. In all that time I had only one single engine landing. It was a very smooth , forgiving plane to fly. Very dependable. I went from EllingtonAFB to ElmendorfAFB in Anchorage Alaska and Flew the DEW line sites in

I flew flight Engineer on C131's in the last 60's from Pax River Md. VR-1 up and down East Coast and in / out of the Caribbean. I loved the plane. Only one bad experience with loosing a compressor. I was fortunate that some pilots gave me the chance to actually fly it!

Flew these as a Mission Pilot at Mather AFB from April 1956 - Dec 1957 putting in over 1000 hours. On a check ride we took off fom McClellan AFB with left engine feathered. Great plane to fly!

In 1959 I was stationed at Patuxant River MD. VR-1 was the squadron. We had about 10 of the Convair 240's, they were called R-4Y's. We flew cargo and passengers up and down the East Coast and to some of the southern islands. I was certified and an "Orderly" crew member and logged many hours in the air. I hated to leave the squadron in late 1961. It was a good airplane.

I flew the JC-131B version at Patrick AFB in the 1960's in support of the missile/space programs at the Cape. There is nothing in life sweeter than the sounds and smells of those beautiful big round engines.

I had the privilege of being an Instructor Navigator at both James Connally and Mather Air Force Bases from 1964 to 1970 and trained over 700 nav students aboard the T-29. It was rugged, dependable (even with one engine out and the other smoking)and pretty - even now. Great memories - I especially enjoyed pinning the wings on many of my students at their graduation.

The first military aircraft I was every airborne in. I was in a USMC Reserve in Missoula, Montana and we flew to NAS North Island, California for our two week summer camp. At this time I was a PFC assigned the status as BARman. 21 years later the last aircraft I flew as a Marine Aviator was NAS Memphis' C-131. So the C-131 was my first and last aircraft exprience of my military career. Great bird!

In the mid to late seventies, the Coast Guard acquired and reactivated retired Air Force C131s for use as a mid-range search and rescue, medivac, and recon platform while they waited for delivery of their new Falcon jets. I flew them for 4 years out of U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Miami and logged over 2500 hours; first as a brand new new co-pilot right out of the Naval Aviation Training Command, and later as an Aircraft Commander. It was an old and sometimes cranky aircraft by then, but we flew them hard and in every kind of wx condition including developing hurricanes; always got the job done and always got us home; albeiet once in a while on only one engine. I loved the aircraft and the sound and feeling of those 2800s at full takeoff power was awesome. Great memories!

I was stationed at Harlingen AFB from '57 to '61 as a crew chief on a T29 (No. 798 if memory serves me right). During that time there were three crashes, one pancake into a cotton field, one nose wheel failure, and one cartwheel which pretty much disassembled the bird. If anyone has any information about these incidents or knows where I might find it, Would you please email it to me.
Thanks Jim Birke 3610 flight line maintenance squadron.

My father was with the crew that delivered the first Convair to Australia in 1948...Does anyone have any details of that trip?
Martin Cross, e-mail, 21.09.2009 11:25
It was an aircraft of this type that was transporting southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd from Greenville, South Carolina to Baton Rouge, Louisianna when it crashed near Gillsburg, Mississippi on October 20, 1977. A right engine magneto fault was identified as a contributing factor in the crash.

I've ever admired the Convair 240 since observing it's operation daily for Aerolineas Argentinas in the late fifties. I remember the steep climb angle and the sound of the counterthrust of the props on landings which permitted the use of short runways. May I have also seen four blade props installed? What I'm sure is that all were original piston engines. Best regards. G
Mark, e-mail, 27.04.2009 22:53
I think it was a 240 and not one of the later models. Sure looked a lot like this one.
Took my first ever, airplane flight in this critter. As I recall, it was operated by Trans Texas Airways and the trip was from Houston, TX's Hobby Airport to New Orleans. Time line was 1959-1960.
I thought it was so cool. Really enjoyed the flight. Back then you walked across the tarmac and climbed up the boarding ladder. Had a beautiful stewardess greet you on the flight deck. Geez where has all that gone?
Made it to NOLA in what I thought was record time.

The C-131A was the first airplane I ever worked on, back at Eglin AFB in 1974, as an Autopilot technician. We had both 131s and T-29s. They were beautiful airplanes, and I am sorry to see them all retired. I did get to re-tour one at Sun-n-Fun back in 05.
I started out as a crew chief and then become a flight mechanic on T29A, B, and C, D and on C-131A in the late 60s and into the early 70s at Scott Air Force Base IL. We flew these aircraft approximately 120 hours per month in special air missions and aero evacuation support. The aircraft were actually pretty good and flew great, we did have some problems, but today I believe most of them were all self generated. The cost of the operation sky rocketed due to maintenance and parts cost. If the Air Force would have given the regular Air Force mechanics proper training the cost would have been cut. Also at the same time there was a hidden agenda of the Air Force Reserves trying to take over the full maintenance operations. Most of our missions were hauling VIP or inspection teams, around the country or flying local mission training or keep code 4 pilots current and navigators. These old aircraft should have been around for several more years then they were.

My first flight was in a piper cub sitting in my dad's lap in 1940 from a grass field in Newport Rhode Island... In 1954, at Bilouxi Miss while attending electronics tech school I would spend hours at the end of the runway fascinated by the T-29 s as they flared for landings. I can't describe it but that feeling of connection with the aircraft at that moment stayed with me through 10,000 hours of PIC . The t-29's were my inspiration, I can still feel that moment between flare and the first squeak of the tires... Never did fly a T-29 though, and did not renew my physical after my 73d Birthday...
Robbie Robbins, e-mail, 19.08.2008 04:44
Many T-29's were converted to VIP transports in the 1960's. I was a radio operator on ferry crews for VT-29B from Land Air Corp., Cheyenne, Wyoming to Weisbaden AB, Germany in 1963. These planes went to the various American embassies in Europe. I was the radio operator on VT-29D #25816 in Rio de Janeiro (JBUSMC) 1972-1974 as well.(it replaced our C-54G)

ANY SUGGESTIONS WHERE I CAN BUY A WOODEN PUT TOGETHER KIT OF THIS WONDERFUL AIRCRAFT? I FIRST MET IT AS A CARGO HANDLER FOR AMERICAN AIRLINES AT OHARE IN LATE 1955 AND HAD A MODEL OF IT THAT HAS LONG SINCE BEEN MISPLACED. LATER I WAS AN OPERATIONS GUY THAT DID THE WEIGHT AND BAL.

As honest an airplane you would want to fly. Flew T 29s, c 131s in various configurations and enjoyed all of it.
Bob Quinter, e-mail, 03.05.2008 06:55
The U.S. DOD also flew the 131Fs,Gs and Hs(turboprops) with some carrying up to 60 passengers depending upon configuration. Another feature in these aircraft was the cargo door on the port side aft.

As I remember there were several 'upgrades or modifications' to the original airframe/powerplants. Seems that the last 'factory' model was the 580 (?). The major difference was the upgraded power plants, from radial to constant speed engines/props. A later modification comes out of Canada and is listed as the 5800. They've stretched the body by about a dozen feet, upgraded the engines and now produce three versions--all passenger, half passenger, half freight, or all frieght. Last I heard, you could buy one of these truly 'rivet up' re-manufactured birds for about $7 million--in today's market as good a bargain as I've seen lately! Dick
