I used to live near the Poinsett Bombing Range in SC and got to hear the Brrrrrttt! all the time. Then I lived at RAF Bentwaters in the UK which was an A-10 base and never got to hear the Brrrrrttt! at all. That plane is a lot bigger in person that you might think.

My dad retired USAF so my childhood was spent on 8 different bases across the US and Europe. Had access to lots of planes. B-57 Canberra's were my favorite. SR-71 was awesome to see but rare. Also had some access to NORAD and Minute Man II missile silos. I had the best childhood in the world man! Finished off with all four years of high school at Torrejon, AB in Spain which was one of the best kept secrets in the AF. Even invited Reagan to my HS graduation. He wrote back that he couldn't make it because he was going to be there a week earlier. Sure enough, my history teacher had dinner with him a week before graduation. Never got to see a Globemaster but is one beautiful bird!

Thanks anon. Sad to say that I owned a Gremlin for a time. Never got to drive it though because the 4 wheel drum brakes were beyond fucked up. Every time you hit the brakes it was a crap shoot as to which wheel would lock up.

I used to carry a bota to concerts since no bottles were allowed. I doubt it was a C124 innertube but we did have an innertube trampoline when we lived in CO Springs. Left it out in the sun one day and it exploded. Dad on remote assignment to Udorn Thailand at the time so that was the end of that.

I always thought our came from a backhoe tire. It had a similar valve stem but the cover that created the trampoline part, covered it up pretty well. I think ours was store bought but not sure.
