I was at Pope AFB from 1975 to 1986. Around 1980, after the Hostage Rescue attempt, there was a cadre of pilots and maintenance staff who worked out of a building at the far end of the runway. I remember we would configure the cockpit lighting for them to use night vision goggles for night time flights and missions. This same group would practice special activities like having motorcycles exit the plane's loading ramp. I did participate in one of their training missions to Mchord AFB during this time. Although fun at the time, I decided against permanently joining the group. One fellow radar shop technician -- James Waldrop -- did work with them on a permanent basis. One of the ongoing rumors at the time is this was the precursor effort to the establishment of the Special Operations Command a few years later.

The only info I have is that TCTO 1C-130(M)H-532 did a flight deck NVG enhancement circa 96-'97. Some HC-130Ps were done in 2001 per TCTO 1C-130-1782.

Medicare - Part G - Nursing Home Plan: Say you are an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself and the government says there is no Nursing Home care available for you. So, what do you do? You opt for Medicare Part G. The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun ( Part G ) and one bullet. You are allowed to shoot one worthless politician. This means you will be sent to prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, a library, and all the Health Care you need. Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart? They are all covered! As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as they do now! And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you they can't afford for you to go into a nursing home. And you will get rid of a useless politician while you are at it. And now, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any more income taxes! Is this a great country or what? Now that you have solved your senior financial plan, enjoy the rest of your week! NOTE: This is a joke!! I am not inciting anyone to actually shoot a politician. It's a shame I feel I have to post this disclaimer!!

While walking down the street one day a corrupt Senator is tragically hit by a car and killed. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says the Senator. "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity." "Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator. "I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are all having such a good time that, before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven, where St. Peter is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit heaven for a day." So, the Senator joins a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns "Well then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity." The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell." So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders. "I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?" The devil smiles at him and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning to get your vote...Today, you voted."

Hello everyone and happy new year, I would like to know if there are many nations that preserve propellers on aircraft. If so, what are the deadlines? How long, can we leave a propeller on an immobilized aircraft without preserving it? ASB 157 is used for the return to service of the blades, maybe you use other documentation? If so, which one? Thank you for your answers.

Some of Life's Reflections: Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected. I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain. I'm in shape. Round is a shape. I'm desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets. I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. Ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window? Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac? You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we have no idea where she is. I have six locks on my door, all in a row. When I go out, I lock every second one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three of them. One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you. They show you how detergents take out bloodstains. I think if you've got a T-shirt with bloodstains all over it, maybe your laundry isn't your biggest problem. Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they tell you it's because they're such beautiful animals. I think my wife is beautiful, but I only have photographs of her on the wall. A lady came up to me on the street, pointed at my suede jacket and said, "Don't you know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" I said "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too.

How can i identify on a propeller 54H56-117 if its P9 and up as per SP-117. What are the difference? Anyone can help me ?
-
The only check for defective prop brake is in-flight shutdown. If it rotates, it has failed. On the ground there is no check. The prop can be rotate back- and forwards. Prop brake is released during initial start at about 5%rpm by oil pressure, and stays released until engine stops again

Greetings all, We have a set of the cargo handling system components. We are trying to identify the parts. We have the TO 13C10-4-4, but it is missing almost every other page. We have change 3, 15 AUG 75. The 130H-4 doesn't identify the detail piece parts. Any ideas on where to get the data?

Good Morning, I recently acquired a flight helmet into my collection. It originates from Special Operations community early to mid 80's is my best guess, and it set up for use with NVG's. My guess is probably MC-130 ... Can anyone comment on early NVG use in the 130 ?

Well guys it has been a long time since I posted on this site. Lot of things have changed since 2015 when I was advising some guys on this site on how to do this and that with the VA and Agent Orange. Well Agent Orange finally bit me with Multiple Myeloma which is a bone and blood cancer. No cure but may live 2-7 years depending on health prior to cancer which was very good. The VA, after much paperwork gave me 100% disability, says yes, I was in Vietnam (Really?) and exposed to defoliant Agent Orange. Have had 30 chemo treatments and the cancer is in remission. Doctor says this should last about 2 years then chemo process starts over, if I'm still alive, ha ha. I'm 79 so who knows. No regrets about serving this wonderful country we live in as it was one heck of a ride.... on old Herk. Loved it and hated it at times but would not take anything for the experiences. So God bless everyone and hang in there! And yes I still visit old Ghost Rider AC-130A 54-1623 at the museum in Marietta Ga. just off the corner of the Lockheed factory where she was born. Bill

Hard work by all concerned. Perfecting the flight control software for the Gremlin took a long time and many flights to uncover the next problem after the last one had solved. Amazing flight and maintenance crews, and fantastic engineers and software developers at Dynetics. It was a great feeling when we finally got one locked into the dock, shut down the engine, folded the wing, winched it up into the cradle and pulled it aboard. I've been a loadmaster since 1964 and this is one of the most gratifying and complex test projects I've flown on . John Limbach, President, Big Sky Aviation International

"ONLY THE BRAVE". Great movie about real heroes, the Granite Mountain Hotshots, who were all killed fighting this fire. IAR was honored to have a tiny part in the film memorializing these great men. If you haven't seen it, please do. International Air Response C-130A N118TG flown by Capt. Mark Rebholz who admits he wound up lower than intended but it worked out well.
