EH>-> Some of my group went to James Connally AFB, TX.  I remember many
EH>-> guys weaseled out and took the T-29 assignment as it was a
EH>-> cushioney job and they only flew about 3 days a week and had the
EH>-> rest of the time off. Don't know if it got any worse but was that
EH>-> way in l956. 
EH>I was in Waco the whole time that James Connally was training
EH>bombaderos!  The Prairie Hill Auxillary field was what was
EH>dumping BT-13's in our pasture during WWII.
We used the ILS at Connally right up to closure of the base and then 
used the runway for Transition Training.  American Airlines also used it 
for Pilot Training in 70's for 727 Pilot Trainers.
