Trying to find some information on 64-0533. Right now it's sitting static at Elmo. They are refurbishing the acft and are looking for any information on it, to include pix from the back in the day wearing the SEA paint scheme. I have tried looking at the database to convert to LMCO production # but nothing comes up.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Forbes had B models

Jim,

Forbes also had E-models in the early 1970's.

In some of Lars Olausson's earlier books, he listed all the C-130 tail codes. From his 7th edition (1990), he writes "FB 47 TAS/313 TAW Forbes AFB, KS. Became wing code for 47 TAS and 48 TAS in 1972. Originally C-130B, converted to C-130E. Unit inactivated in July 1973."

"FH 38 TAS/313 TAW Forbes AFB, KS. Unit activated 10 Oct 69. Redesignated 48 TAS/313 TAW 15 Nov 1971. Reassigned wing code FB in mid-72. Inactivated along with 313 TAW in July 1973. (C-130E)"

I knew Dyess did not sound right for FB. Wikipedia shows that the unit moved to Dyess prior to inactivation (6 July-August 73.) If true, I wonder why and why for such a short time.
