    Richard Nachman comments: Many 6s deserved its tail number. Over the years I worked on this aircraft many times both in the states and overseas no one ever fix anything on this plane. It worked when it wanted and would not work when it wanted. The first time I saw this plane takeoff its right rear truck would not retract and on its last flight its right rear truck would not retract. R. Nachman Bomb Nav.
