European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 1, 1958, Darmstadt, Hesse                                I Donnelly left and Bradner in c54 cockpit before  photos Bane hard Riding pilots by Marty ger5hen, staff writer it took some 40 pilots in the 7167thair transport so five years to get a combined total of 100,000 hours of flying time. Yet two of its hard Riding pilots have chalked up Twenty per cent of the squad Ron s flying time Between them. Each Hnsen thousand flying hours to his credit. The flyers a Nils Palmer Bradner and Thomas e. Donnelly have been flying since world War it. Hut 10,000 hours is equivalent to two million Miles. There Aren t Many pilots who get that much time aloft. Donnelly a command Pilot 1ms 16 years of continuous service. He flew the Hump Between India and China during the War and cockeyed c47s around in Korea. Donnelly has been All Over the world and for five and a half years flew Mats aircraft around the states. It takes More than two years Day and night to do 10,000 hours. It is hard to appreciate the length of time 10,000 flying hours represent a Man would have to Fly 67 hours a month for 15 years to get 10,000 hours in. The average flying time of an air Force Pilot is Only 2,000 hours. It is no wonder then that the 71g7th is pretty proud of its two 10,000 hour men. The hard flying Squadron brags that Only one Man is Safe can equal the record of their two old timers. This May or May not be True but flying people will Tell you that there Aren t Many of the wild Blue yonder types who do that much flying. And when they do they be got a right to be proud.
