Pilot Flies Galaxy Exclusively
? V- ?
A KenanSvllle native. Air
Force Cept. David Benton, has
recently been honored by hU
base newspaper. THE AIR
LIFTER is published weekly at
Dover Air Force Bwe. Dela
ware where David Is stationed.
David has Just recently com
pleted training to fly the world's
largest plane, the C-8. He
is also the first Air Force of
ficer to compisc* the training
for this Job. The following
story is from THE AIRLIFTER.
When he "Was in pilot training
three years agoCapt. Dave Ben
ton was flying two of the Air
Force's smallest Jets. Today
he Is aircraft commander on the
world's largest plane, the C-5.
Presently ststkned at Dover
AFT. Captain Benton made the
move here from Charleston
AFB. S. C. with the 3rd Mili
tary Airlift Squadron (MAS)
In his initial year of pilot
training at Sbeppard AFB, Tex
as, Benton flew the T-97 and
T-38.
Coming oat of Sbeppard. he was
one of only five aspiring pilots
selected to go directly into
C-6's training.
'Most c-5 flyers have trained
and been with C-lAl's prior to
being ^graded to the C-8,'
explains Col. Ray D. Shelton,
3rd MAS commander.
Capt. David Benton
Br ?ot Benton. From the Lone
Star State he journeyed to Alms
AFT, Oklahoma for eight weeks
of C-S training.
'At that time I thought the
assignment was a mistake' Capt.
Benton. relates. 'There were
ertain flying hour require- i
nents needed to fly the C-6 that
I didn't have, so I checked It '
out at the personnel office. '
That's w'?en 1 found out I was '
selected for this new direct to 1
C-5 training/
According to Colonel Shekon, 1
Captain Benton is the first pilot
at Dover AFB who has gone
through this program.
'Once I knew it wasn't a mis
take 1 felt lucky,' Benton ad
mits. 'I saw it as a great
challenge/
It is a challenging transition
the huge Galaxy. The hardest
part, according to Capt. Benton
Was learning to manage the lar
ger crew.
From Alt us, the lucky pilot's
next stop was Charleston AFB,
As a co-pilot there he was,
one of the first to fly a round
the-world C-5 mission.
Capt. Benton participated in
many important airlift opera
tions and exercises, including
die airlift to Vietnam.
So now, just three years after
his first stint in the T-38, Cap
tain Benton has been certified
as a C-5 aircraft commander.
He became the first 'direct to
C-5' trained pilot to make that
rating.
Benton also spent six years
in the Air Force as a naviga
tor before he went on to pilot
J
training.
Cape. Benton and his wife,
lane, presently live in Dover
Krtth their two children, Tammy,
i, and Laurie, 2. He is the
ion of Mr. and Mrs, Arthur
Benton of Kenansvllle, North
Carolina.
