63-7770 - 7770 came from Kiesler AFB and was called the fireball. After Mpls took her over and reconditioned her she was one of the best flyers in the unit! Flight deck was totally redone and looked like brand new. - by CCbenson

I crewed this ACFT at Dyess AFB TX from 1972-1976 back then it was part of the 463rd TAC then went MAC. We took it on rotation to Mildehall England and a year or so later Frankfort Germany. While on temporary assignment to Mildenhall an artist came and took pictures of it sitting on static display at one of the hardstands. About a year or so later a I was surpised to see that a plastic model company produced it as a footlong model. I crewed the plane on a mission to Bamako, Mali in Central Africa called Operation King Grain. I was trained by Cilitus Skipwith who was a Ssgt then and my assistant bacame A1C James Lynch around 1975. It would creek and make weird noises with the power off but I never thought it was haunted.
