DC10FE Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Casey, Since my passion is mainly the commercial Herc, you ought to add Safair's/First Air's 4600. It's history would fill a whole page. Also, you could add "The Silver Lady," Uganda Air Cargo's 5X-UCF (4610) to the aircraft names section. Another Herc with an interesting history. Don R.

SEFEGeorge Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Added Casey, 0543 crash happened right after I left LRF for EDF. Info I received was that they had taken off late for maintenance and was trying to rejoin the formation. They were pulling a turn to join on the tailend and a VFR bug smasher was in the way, they quickly reversed the turn and lost a wing.

Sonny Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Casey, Wasn't sure where to put this request. If possible, I would like to see 56-0533 listed as "Sonny's Honey". That was the name I had on her until Oct. 1968. Sure they took it off after I left. Thanks, Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know she was in the 21st when I got to Naha in May 1967 until she was shot down in Nov 1969 (crew flying her when she was shot down was from the 41st but at that time ALL Blind Bat birds had been assigned to the 21st TAS). Thanks and that goes for all you do on this site. I really enjoy it as I know the others do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Casey I was looking something up in the database and looked at 63-7785. 3852 the original 63-7785 was owned and operated by USN MATS at the time of its accident in 1966. VR-8. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VR-8. Bob Bob, Educate me please... Did it ever belong to MAC? Any Idea why it was not given a Navy tail number? What was MATS (not the USAF, Military Air Transport Service I assume?) I have seen a few accounts that say the aircraft was still owned by the USAF MAC. --Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayj Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I think MATS became MAC in 1965. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Casey These aircraft were built for USAF MATS, Military Air Transport Service. MATS became MAC in 1966. USAF gave the Navy 3 or 4 squadrons of E models. Most of their missions were directed by MATS but they also had some individual Navy Missions. Mostly they flew channel missions just like the USAF MATS E models did. When MAC came along the Navy E's reverted to the USAF and all the MAC/MATS C-130's went to TAC.
