I would be surprised if there were still 4 in the cockpit these days. What
would they all do? Ah yes, pinochle, AF style (double deck)

  Sad to relate to all of you, but there are no longer any C-141s on active duty. Budget restraints, or some such. Same story for the the "G" model B-52s that I used to have under my care. Maybe it was politics involving the "new" C-17 Globemaster III for the C-141s. Kind of odd, though. Most of them got a big airframe and equipment update, then soon after were retired. Go figure.
