Really cool! Loved the old Martin 404 with all it's quirks! With it's P&W R2800CB16 radials that pumped out 2400 HP "Wet" at 2700 RPM and 59.5" Hg, it's "walking" main gear, and a stabilizer that changed it's angle of incidence with flap extension - you knew the stab was working by an amber light that illuminated on the instrument panel by the copilot's left knee - the Martin was a lot of fun to fly. Flew both the Eastern (later Southern) Martins with Florida Airlines, and the TWA (later Ozark) Martins with Naples Airlines (PBA) back in the late 70's and early 80's. There were subtle differences between them system wise too. Got about 1600 hours in Martins all told, about half as copilot and half as a Captain. And that my friend, was a long, long time ago! Thanks for the memories! Mike Kelly "Old School" Aviator and Martin pilot.

We lived in Fayetteville, North Carolina, from 1963-1966, where Piedmont Airlines operated flights into Grannis Field. One Saturday, Piedmont had $10.00 flights whereby you took off and circled the city of Fayetteville on a sight-seeing tour and landed back at Grannis. The plane was a Martin 4-0-4. Our parents gave us the 10 bucks for each of us and up we went! It my first and only ride on a Martin 4-0-4. Loved it.

Don't forget Bob Pettit and Nate Thurmond! Those two are still Top 5 locks in that category last time I checked. Pettit might even be the greatest rebounding NBA forward that ever played the game, NO ONE close to him at that position save for maybe Lucas and a prime Elgin Baylor (before the unfortunate knee injury he sustained halfway though the '60s).

Lucas provided the knicks with a high post center who could pass shoot and rebound . His nba career part 1 was pairing with oscar and royals to play second fiddle to Russell's celtics and wilts 76ers. Part 2 was his knicks career knees weakened but hitting the opening man hitting the = of a 3 , and rebounding the defensive glass. He was a savant . Rain man. 20 20 seasons. At ohio state he joined with havlicek and Siegfried.
@tjbailey298203 жыл бұрын
Lucas's knees were bad long before his days with the Knicks. They were bad when he was in high school. They came because of all the pounding they took playing on the concrete court in Middletown from the time he was a teenager. It was chronicled in this video narrated by Chris Fowler.

@@tjbailey29820 I am familiar with Middletown it's a branch campus for Miami where I went and played ball with guys from there and Hamilton the Middleton rival. Dan Thomas was one middletown if still alive around 68 years old . Great guy about 6'7" good hands decent handle could score to about 17' and around goal rebounded . Lucas didnt let some floating cartilage get in the way when 90% of all rebounds are taken below the rim. Its tracking the shot to its predicted resting space while threading through the other bodies to gain position and boxing out and moving into its downward flight . Rodman moses lucas had it down. Lucas was a savant. So for him determining things that had already occurred to him before spatiorelationally was like a no brainer He could do that in his sleep . Corner jumper back spin I know where that's going let me get there first.

I have always maintained that they would have beaten the Lakers in the finals if Debuscherre had not been injured. It was a perfect matchup for them. They won the first game by 30 points. Chamberlain could not guard Lucas at the top of the circle and the next year I remember Chamberlain running out to try to guard Lucas and Lucas putting those bombs in..

Did you know the singer of that song? His name is Cliff Albright and he flew for Southern. Worked with him for a few years in Memphis at Republic Express. One of the most awesome guys I've ever met. If anyone knows where he is or whatever happened to him I would love to hear from you. Last I heard he took a job flying border patrol in Nigeria but that was in the mid to late 80's. First time I heard him do that song was in a shit hole bar in Dillon Colorado while a group of us were skiing . It was awesome.
