When I was in the Air Force (1966-1970) I was an Air Freight Specialist and loaded hundreds of aircraft mostly the ones referred to that Glen's father flew (C-124, C-123, C-54, C-47, C-130, etc) at Travis AFB and Vietnam. The Load Masters or Crew Chiefs were careful on freight balance as each pallet of freight that was bagged and netted varied. The locking systems were very stable and effective when installed (nothing on most C-47s or C-54's). I wondered if this 767 went down due to a sudden cargo shift.
