While stationed in Kodiak 1969 - 1970 there was this incident 19 AUG 1969: James I. Doughty wrote: I was the aircraft commander, and we slid the plane sideways down the runway at Sitkinak. The skid marks are the left main tires and the nose wheel. The right main came off the ground and that big white spot is where the left outboard propeller hit the runway. Quite a ride! Nobody hurt, and I flew back to Kodiak 2 weeks later. During takeoff, the wind went to 90 deg to the right and increased to 60 knots. The 3 C-130’s there at the time 1452, 1453 and 1454. There was also HH-52’s 1424, 1442, 1423 and 1427. Larry Wambold
