Behind them is #42-31061, which the crew named "Caledonia." Each nacelle had the names of each wife of the officers of the crew. T/SGT Millard knowing this would be his ride home, replaced two engines, which "had some time" on them. LT Moss and crew took the ship up to "slow time" the engines, but upon landing found the flying charactersics a little tricky. LT Moss had become accustomed to the heavier PFF ships on his last 8 missions. This particular aircraft had been stripped over all armament and unneccessary gear, making it handle like a fighter.
