Three times, he loved being a transport pilot as there was a large variety in missions, he was also somewhat of a black marketeer and being a transport pilot made that possible, probably why he became a PX officer after the war. :ROFLMAO:
It was a gorgeous in S TX today, definitely a chamber of commerce day!!
Mid 80s in the afternoon and just a wisp of clouds in the sky.
