Rode it in 2000 and 2007. My son had just got out of the Air Force in 2007and we were taking his car back to Wisconsin from Tacoma Washington. We saw Winslow Arizona, Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon and the petrified forest. We rode from Chama as we had done in 2000 to get double headed power to Osier. My son was a C17 mechanic at McChord AFB. My family and I were getting lunch when we heard an overwhelming roar from the west. We ran to the east windows in time to see a C17 blast over at low altitude, stand up on it's right wing and peel around one of the mountains. We recognized the green tail feathers of a McChord bird and my son said "i just worked on that bird 4 days ago!". My son found out later that McChord pilots were doing radar controlled terrain avoidence in the area and that's what we saw. Thanks for the video, it brought back some magic moments.

Great video! What I love about 484 was she was used as the circus train in in the 3rd Indiana Jones film.
