Does anyone else here remember the major European reinforcement exercise the US ran in the early 1960s? If memory serves me correctly, something like 90 C-124s flew across the pond to Rhein-Main in the course of a couple of days. An amazing sight as they passed over Southern England en route; there always seemed to be at least one in the sky during daylight hours, not to mention the occasional C-133 for good measure.
