A buddy and I from AW School, managed to beg on to two rides with VP-67. On one of the flights the old decrepid Flight Engineer threatened to dump me and my buddy out along the way at one of the stops. It wasn't the case, but I never botherd them for another ride. The old aircraft was interesting. It was drafty cold and unpressurized, and stunk of hydraulic fluid, a real throwback to its' WW2 era design. But there was no better view than from up in the forward observer compartments all glass nosecone.
