Note: SWA repaint near completion, lacks markings.
As we posted on our Webpage, the Museum received a late Christmas present from the 62d Maintenance Squadron (62d MXS) when their painters finished painting the South East Asian camouflage on our C-130 Hercules (s/n 62-1789) on Friday.
Yes the last time we talked about the on again - off again paint project, it was not scheduled to restart until early 2015 - but late last year, a window of time opened up in the busy schedule of the 62d MXS where they could give our C-130 the required attention.
After a long wait - we're almost there ! Exterior markings (unit & maintenance) and detailing are still required before the "Hurk" is rolled out with it's new identity as one of the more beloved aircraft of the 36th TAS - s/n 63-7788.
