Railrunner130 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Aren't the NASA airplanes Frankenherks? No, they were mostly EC-130Q's from the Navy and one B that was the only C-130C 58-0712 Bob Edited February 14, 2010 by bobdaley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fräulein Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Perhaps we ought to go in for a group buy:D Kinda like a time share herk:rolleyes: Dan Sure. I'll write a check. But that paint scheme has gotta go. It just does not look like a Herk with that white paint scheme. It looks kind of ... I dunno... delicate.

CBowman Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'd be cautious about the white paint job - they may be trying to hide some extensive body work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXTORQ Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Still a b E A utiful plane none the less. I'd take one anyway I could get it. Less the center wing box problems of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railrunner130 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I kinda like the paint scheme. Except it'd be a full time job for somebody to keep it clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I kinda like the paint scheme. Except it'd be a full time job for somebody to keep it clean. Reminds me when I was CC on a VC-118A, 53-3229. Except the bottom of the fuselage wasn't painted, the leading edges and cowling weren't either. We had to polish the unpainted areas with Met-all everytime it flew a VIP mission. What a pain. And at Wright-Patt there were a lot of VIP trips in the early 70s. Even keeping it clean after pilot pros and standard pax runs. Finally talked them into painting the lower fuselage the standard light gray. Helped with the polishing but still had to wash it alot and keep it clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1dp Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Nah, easy to keep clean, just needs an orange and blue racing stripe. Wax on/Wax off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
