Thread: Recycling old C-141 airplanes into mobile phones

I have a sinking feeling inside after seeing the destruction of something I put blood, sweat and tears into for the better part of 9 years. This plane popped my adolescent cherry and made me a man, it showed me the world. Lizards were in my opinion, the best transporter mother MAC (Military Airlift Command) ever had…C-17s haven't been around long enough to claim that title so nobody go there. Besides, heavies shouldn't have joysticks.

L4P member 22crew, although you're a fighter dawg, you can understand how a heavy puke feels. You better, we hauled your F-16/one engine having/lawn dart butts around the globe…lol.

There's something I've never been fond of, seeing any airplane's wings taken off, but at least it's being recycled and put to use elsewhere...

I can appreciate the recycling yet it still pains me to see the planes destroyed. Going thru Tucson and seeing the fighter jets wasting away makes me wish I could get one to save for posterity.

LMAO akiruno.......i do feel your pain, though i will never claim to have been a 16 guy. Cut my teeth on the Eagle.....always have and always will love them. And i'll have the Raptor's back anyday also lol. What's really funny is we have a 16 sittin here all packed up ready to be shipped out b/c some stick actuator decided to land a little hard n fast.....AKA.....CRASHHHHH. I did get a ride on a 141.....must have been its "fini flight" cause it was a long time ago lol.....just pokin fun at a fellow maintainer.
