Js... TA-4Js.
I think I was on the road about every other weekend, so I had it down to a science and Cannon was about perfect for squeezing all I comfortably could out of the Scooter while guaranteeing I'd have access to the stuff I needed (air & electric carts and LOX). As you know, the A-4 was very simple and dependable. The only time I ever broke down was having a starter shear off in NAS Dallas (speaking of fields that no longer exist). Worst American BOQ I ever stayed in. One head per floor and no phone or TV in the room. Was sitting in the check in building making a call from the pay phone (pre-cell phone days) when I heard an animal scratching in the overhead, then I see a paw poke through. Tell the desk clerk and he says, yeah, that's one of the raccoons, like it's well known and normal. Fortunately a couple of your fellow jarheads were there on a cross country from NGP and invited me out to view the local wildlife.
