Hanoi Taxi over Dayton
These pictures were taken on Dec. 13, 2005, in preparation for the retirement of my brother's plane, a C-141 known as the Hanoi Taxi.
This is the *real* Hanoi Taxi- not just another C-141 in the fleet. He's so proud of his plane. He knows so much history about it. It's a shame to see it retired, but is is over 30 years old now. I got to take the boys on a tour of it at the Dayton Air Show earlier this year. I hope they still continue to show it off at air shows around the country.
