We also had a a J-34 jet engine under each wing that used 115/145 for fuel and part of our pre-flight was to reach inside the tailpipe to break of the stalactites of lead from the fuel.

Flew in P-2V Neptunes .......2 turning & 2 burning

As soon as I started reading the second paragraph I thought "This guy flew in Neptunes!" lol

I didn't, but I'm familiar with them. We have one on display at an aviation museum that I'm involved with, and the Royal Canadian Air Force also flew them for a few years.
