I understood you point......

but please....dont talk to an old Herc driver about being the "red headed step child".... Strat airlifters never really considered us part of MAC.... we just worked hard at doing our job...going places nobody else wanted to or dared to go, and doing the jobs nobody wanted.

Hell I cant tell you how many people thought that C-130s belonged to the Army....because we had props and were not pure jet/fan aircraft....
