Might want to make it clear this is an old incident.

The date on this is wrong. This post makes one think this occurred today.
Can a mod please update the date to 1954?

On my way to Thailand in 1972, we flew from Travis to Hickam in an Oklahoma Air Guard 124. I swear we never got over 1000 feet off the ocean...that thing was straining and vibrating for every foot of altitude it could gain.
We were unfortunate to be on the bottom deck and there obviously weren't enough airsick bags for the pax on upper deck.

In the early sixties, I was a mechanic on the C-124 at Dover AFB, Delaware. They uses four 4360 cubic inch engines. If I remember correctly, each engine had a 82.5 gallon oil tank. We used an oil truck with a gas type nozzle to pump about 10 or more gallons per engine after a long flight. Sure liked doing a ground test run of those big engines. Fond memories.

The only 1954 Globemaster crashes I see are the Mt Ganett crash in Canada and the Moses lake crash.

Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major Engine. A 4-bank radial. Must have been a nightmare to work on.
