 Tractors.. The little gray ones.. Not the old Fordson
 with steel wheels.

 I had about 4 thousand hours hours as an instructor navigator
 and was qualified as bot Navigator and Radar-Navigator. I did
 get some stick time on the 24 hour airborne alerts. many hours
 of it over your area.  I did the bomb drops for over 50 missions
 from Guam to Vietnam in 1965... We were the FIRST arclight
 missions....

 Got to fly some on the long 24 hour ones... I was also civilian
 pilot. Multi-engine and instrument rated.

 Have flown over almost every inch of Canada. Also was stationed
 in Newfoundland for three years... That was a real experience.
 My training with the U.S. 6th Cavalry Regiment was something.
 The horses could drill better than the men.  :)
