LOCKHEED YMC-130H "HERCULES" "CREDIBLE SPORT"
CajunCrewChief replied to Skip Davenport's topic in C-130 General
Man, It has been a long time since I have been on here...this aircraft is passionate for me as I used to be a crew chief on 74-2065, also a credible sport aircraft that was sent back to Dyess and now at Yokota. I was in the CLSS (ABDR) at Robins and it is unfortunate that the museum released this aircraft because nobody wanted to pay for it. I contacted the Robins curator personally and was told that although Credible Sport was a test program, the mission never happened so their stance was, it is NOT a part of AF history. BS!. Unfortunately, it is sitting out at Warrior Air Base at Robins with no wings, no Horizontal or Vertical Stab either. I was pretty pissed after talking with the curator. Hopefully something can be done, but it is all about money any more. Gary -
Bob, I left Yokota in 2012 and am now stationed at Moody AFB. It has been some time since I got on here, good to be back! Gary
-
Bob, You are correct on the remaining P's at Moody. The two wingless birds in the picture are 63-9810 which is supposed to go to the rescue group as a ground trainer and 65-0988 which we hope to start getting to our air park in the coming weeks! Gary

I thought 0502 went to Elemendorf for Static when it left Ramstein?
-
Thanks Talon...that is exactly what I was looking for!

I got picked up the the USG as an AFETS Rep and no longer work for BAE/MTC. I believe they are bidding to do another PDM on another PI aircraft, but not sure where that stands. Glad to see she is flying again! Spent the better part of 2 years in and out of the PI, every three weeks would fly out for three weeks and home to WR. Lots of Delta Sky miles...lots of San Miguel Super Dry! Glad I dont have to make that flight anymore, even though it payed for my honeymoon to Jamaica! -
Does anyone have a good quality cutaway picture of a C-130E/H? Can's seem to find one. Thanks,

Bob, When we delivered 4726, it was to bring the total to 3. 4593 came to the facility and CANNED and engine and prop for the aircraft broke in Davao. After dropping the APU and engine, it departed and crashed, leaving 2 operational after we delivered. Last I heard the other was going to be grounded due to PDM overfly hours. -
The upper tracks get a coat of grease...the lower tracks calls for applying grease or SFL (solid film lubricant) "Sparingly"

Last C-130E Hercules aircraft leave Ramstein
CajunCrewChief replied to fltsload's topic in C-130 General
I crewed 1299 at Yokota in the late 90's. Sad to see her go, but she still flies on! -
Try Kellstrom Industries out of Mirimar Florida. The company I used to work with...we bought many parts from these guys to rebuild a 76H model. Very dependable and very knowledgeable. Try talking to a fella named Marius or Henry...tell them Gary sent you!

Check you PM SergF Gary

Ah...you remember then, huh Tiny? Numerous missed missions and wasted NM time for a "Non-Issue".
-
I remember being in AR shop and 935 giving us fits rigging the NLG doors for the aft bumper stop. I agree with you SergF, it is sad to see the old birds being put down. On another note...I remember 502 being driven into a swamp in Sig during initial stages of OIF. I have/had a PPS of pics of us digging that thing out. It was flying OIF missions the next day. I will have to see if I can find them and post them after I PCS.
