       I just wanted to let you know when I was stationed at Elmendorf
       in Alaska we had a squadron of C-124's to fly supplies back and
       forth to the lower 48. A big cargo was jet engines. While I was
       there a C-124 crashed into Cooks inlet but floated so they blew
       it back towards shore with helicopters then used cat's with
       winches  from Ft Richardson to pull in in. They dissembled it
       and sent it back to Douglas for repair. One interesting thing
       about the plane is when they taxied it one of the crew would be
       half out of a hatch it the top of the plane to help the pilot
       steer the plane because the pilot had limited visibility when
       taxing.
