A photographer, who was also a confirmed atheist, decided to go into the woods to get photos of the fall foliage. It was a beautiful day....fall colors, birds chirping, babbling brook, and a gentle breeze rustling the leaves. While snapping shots, the atheist heard a noise behind him, and whirled around to see a huge bear coming through the bushes. He dropped his camera and ran. And kept running....... and looking behind him, he noticed the bear was gaining on him. He was so scared that tears came to his eyes. He ran faster, but the bear was closing in on him. He ran faster yet, and tripped over a root. Rolling over onto his back, the atheist saw the bear rise to his full height and raise a huge paw...... and the atheist cried out, "Oh, God, no!" And everything stopped. The birds stopped chirping. The brook stopped babbling. The gentle breeze stopped. And the bear froze with his paw in the air. And the atheist heard a booming voice say, "Young man. For years you doubted my very existence, but now that your life is in peril you call my name to help you. Why should I do so?" And the atheist thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, you are right. If you are God, then it would be hypocritical of me to become a Christian at this point in my life. But, do you think that you could at least make the bear a Christian for today?" And the booming voice was quiet for a moment and then said, "Done." And everything started again. The birds chirping, brook babbling, and gentle breeze rustling the leaves. And the bear slowly lowered his paw. And the bear put his paws together, and bowed his massive head and said, "Dear Lord, please bless this food we are about to eat."

Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with a tattoo and green hair walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today? I looked at her and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond, had that deer in the headlights look. I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it. When people see a cat's litter box they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?" I just say, "No, it's for company!" Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, "An ambulance." The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends. The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. Have you ever noticed: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL. The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he knows when he's really in trouble. Did you ever notice that when you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs?" Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and a lot of the roads were not paved. You know you are getting old when everything either dries up, sags or leaks. Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable. Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.

Hey guys, I have a question I’m hoping someone knows an answer to. I have a plane that’s pressure drops when ground test valve is tied and elevator is on its stop. Sits at about 2600 and the longer it sits it drops to 2200. We figured it was the elevator compensator letting fluid through. We changed it. Same issue only now we noticed the temp when running our aux pump is getting very hot. We will change the aux pump. I guess my question is why would the pump be doing this only in those conditions? thanks for any help!

A very elderly gentleman walks into an upscale cocktail lounge. He is in his mid nineties, very well dressed, hair well groomed, great looking suit, flower in his lapel and smelling slightly of a good after shave. He presents a very well looked after image. Seated at the bar is an elderly really classy looking lady, (mid eighties). The sharp old gentleman walks over and sits alongside her. He orders a Manhattan. He takes a sip. He slowly turns to her and says, "So tell me, do I come here often?"

Nothing is required, according to the drawing.

Airlift Wing, Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, performs aerial spraying June 25, 2014, over Joint Base Charleston, S.C. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Dennis Sloan) Workhorse of the Air: C-130 Celebrates 70 Years Since First Flight Aug. 23, 2024 | By David Roza An era began 70 years ago on Aug. 23 when Lockheed test pilots Stan Beltz and Roy Wimmer, along with flight engineers Jack Real and Dick Stanton, took the new YC-130 prototype on its maiden voyage from Burbank, Calif., to Edwards Air Force Base about 50 miles east. They took off after just 855 feet of runway, “an astoundingly short distance considering most aircraft of that size required 5,000 feet,” Lockheed Martin later wrote. It was a sign of things to come: in the seven decades since that flight, the C-130 Hercules has delivered troops, equipment, and live-saving supplies to short, unpaved airstrips in the deserts of the Middle East, the jungles of southeast Asia, the snowy wastes of Antarctica and Greenland, and everywhere in between. But the Herc’s ability to land and take off in a short distance is just one of the many strengths that makes it one of the longest continually produced aircraft in history, with more than 2,500 airframes operated by 70 countries around the world. “The vision that Lockheed Corporation had in providing a versatile, durable, capable aircraft has resulted in the greatest airlift workhorse known to the air forces around the world—especially the U.S. air forces,” Dr. Douglas Kennedy, assistant professor of history at the U.S. Air Force Academy and a former Air Force C-130 pilot himself, told Air & Space Forces Magazine. “The Four Fans of Freedom remains the steadfast tool for all contingencies,” he added. Archived photo of the YC-130 during its ferry flight from Burbank, California, to Edwards Air Force Base August 23, 1954. (U.S. Air Force photo) While the first flight took place in 1954, the C-130’s story began in 1951, when the Air Force requested a medium cargo airplane that could fill the void in between small and large transports, which had trouble landing on the short runways where troops were fighting during the Korean War. “It was designed to be used in a tactical situation where there weren’t any nice, clean places to take care of it,” Lockheed engineer Willis Hawkins told the Smithsonian’s Air & Space Magazine in 2004. The Air Force got what it asked for: a strong durable airframe, a giant tail that stabilizes the aircraft at slow speeds, propellers mounted high to keep the engines clear of dust and dirt, a narrow undercarriage flanked by sturdy tires to operate on and off roads, a tall, fully pressurized cargo compartment set low to the ground to allow for a wide range of cargo, and a built-in auxiliary power unit that lets the aircraft start up “when the nearest ground power cart is 150 miles away,” HistoryNet wrote in 2017. All this, and the C-130 was surprisingly maneuverable: there was even a four-ship C-130 aerial demonstration team called the Four Horsemen in the late 1950s. The Hercules proved its worth in the Vietnam War, where it delivered hundreds of paratroopers during Operation Junction City in 1967; landed or air-dropped off much of the supplies for the besieged Marines at Khe Sanh in 1968; and picked up new roles as aerial refueling tankers for rescue helicopters, land-anywhere taxis for special operations troops, and side-firing gunships for close air support. An HH-3 “Jolly Green Giant” refuels from an HC-130P tanker. The ability to refuel helicopters in flight greatly enhanced search and rescue operations in Southeast Asia by giving helicopters greater range. (U.S. Air Force photo) The Hercules truly lived up to its namesake during the fall of Saigon where, on April 29, 1975, a single C-130 flown by South Vietnamese Air Force pilot carried 452 refugees to Thailand, 32 of them in the cockpit alone. “The aircraft was overloaded by at least 10,000 pounds and required every foot of runway to become airborne, including hitting the brakes while taxiing in order to close the rear ramp doors,” the U.S. Air Force wrote about the flight. Do Anything, Anywhere The C-130’s flexibility is one of its defining features. From 1960 to 1986, Air Force C-130 crews snagged capsules filled with spy satellite film as they dangled from parachutes over the Pacific Ocean. During Desert Shield and Desert Storm, EC-130 Command Solos broadcast radio programs meant to convince Iraqi troops to surrender, while Compass Call variants could disrupt enemy communications, jam radar, and help suppress enemy air defenses. In 1963, a C-130 became the largest, heaviest airplane to ever land and take off from an aircraft carrier. It seems the Herc can’t stop taking on new jobs: in 2021, a C-130 acted as a drone carrier by snatching an unmanned aircraft out of the air. A year later, an MC-130J Commando II performed the first live-fire of a pallet-dropped cruise missile. But the C-130’s peacetime portfolio is even more expansive. The Herc has dropped hay to stranded cattle in Colorado. Every summer, Air Force C-130 crews perform some of the most dangerous flying outside of combat when they drop fire retardant to stop wildfires across the western U.S. Meanwhile, the Ohio-based 910th Airlift Wing is equipped with large-area aerial spray units that kill the mosquitoes and filth flies that hatch in the standing flood water left over by large hurricanes. Since 1965, C-130s have also served as the aircraft of choice for the “Hurricane Hunters” of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, who fly into storms and atmospheric rivers to collect data for scientists and emergency officials back home. A U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) worker waits for a flight on a C-130J Hercules assigned to the 75th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, in Maputo, Mozambique, March 29, 2019. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Tech. Sgt. Chris Hibben) Outside of those technical roles, the Herc has saved thousands of lives just by dropping off food and medical supplies nearly anywhere on Earth, including southern Sudan during the Darfur Conflict, where the aircraft played a pivotal role with the United Nations World Food Program. “We fly 10 hours a day, first light to last light,” Jaco Klopper, former chief of air operations for the WFP in southern Sudan, told the Smithsonian in 2004. “We refuel the airplane as it’s being reloaded. Turnaround time is about 15 to 20 minutes. If it wasn’t for the C-130s, a large number of people would have died.” Always Improving Part of what allows the C-130 to keep taking on new roles is that the aircraft itself is constantly changing. The analog, smooth-nosed YC-130 took off with just three blades on its propellers and engines that were more like blow-dryers compared to those of today’s C-130Js, which also feature six-bladed propellors and a glass cockpit. “Internally, little remains of the airplane’s 1950s heritage,” the Smithsonian wrote. “But two things never changed: Riding in the cargo hold of a C-130 is still a class below steerage, and, from the first A model to today’s spanking new J, from the first hour of flight to the 20 millionth, the airplane has been fun to fly.” Kennedy shared that opinion of the aircraft. “I was always proud to maneuver the beautiful beast around the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, landing in the Moroccan desert, a former-World War II open field in southern England, and the limestone short runways in southern Colombia, or dropping the most lethal forces known in mankind,” he said. “Cheers to seven decades of service to the workhorse of the air.” Kennedy’s fellow Herc driver, Gen. Mike Minihan, the outgoing head of Air Mobility Command, called it “the greatest airplane ever built.” Still, Minihan told Air & Space Forces Magazine, it would be nothing without the people who fly, fix, and support it. “It is blue-collar work. There is nothing majestic or outwardly appealing to it until you’ve been a part of that family,” he explained, holding back tears. “Then it is the most majestic and appealing thing in the world. That airplane has an ability to bring the best out of America and Americans.” The general said he was heartbroken that his days flying the C-130 are over, but he was ecstatic for an airplane “that’s been made brand new for 70 years and will continue to be made in the foreseeable future. “I’m happy that we not only get to celebrate that airframe, but more importantly, I’m happy that we get to celebrate the people that fly, fix and support it.” A C-130 Hercules with the 36th Airlift Squadron takes off at Yokota Air Base, Japan, during a routine sortie Oct. 2, 2015.

Hi Simon, Thanks again for all of your hard work and years of research into this. I suppose that the likeliest explanation for the discrepancy surrounding the second Herk lost at Song Be on 25 Dec 1974 may be due to the fact that a 435th Herk was crewed by members of the 437th squadron instead. Members of both transport squadrons that I've been in touch with are adamant that the 437th squadron was flying on 25 December 1974 when its C-130 was shot down during its ascent after successfully dropping supplies at Song Be. Thanks again for your help and research! John

As the economy gets better, everything else gets worse. As they say in Beirut, Shiite happens. Asking dumb questions is easier than correcting dumb mistakes. Assumption is the mother of all foul-ups. At any level of traffic, any delay is intolerable. Automatic simply means that you can't repair it yourself. Bad news drives good news out of the media. Bare feet magnetize sharp metal objects so they always point upward from the floor. Be content with what you've got, but be sure you've got plenty. Beauty is only skin deep, ugly goes clear to the bone. Before you give a colleague a piece of your mind, be sure you can spare it. Being a good communicator means people find out what is really wrong with you. Believing is seeing. Better latent than never. Beware of a dark-haired man with a loud tie. Beware of altruism. It is based on self-deception, the root of all evil. Beware of those wearing suspenders with belts.

When changing the GTC mounts are the isolators that are mounted in rods fitted dry or are the installed wet with PS870 or Primer. Bolts are installed with CPC naturally.

A mother and her young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago. The son turned from the window to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?" The mother said, "Well, maybe that's something you could ask the stewardess." So the boy asked the stewardess, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?" The stewardess responded, "Did your mother tell you to ask me?" The boy admitted that this was the case. "Well, then, tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. You can ask your mother to explain it to you."

Bricks: Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 potential job candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation. If they are counting the bricks. Put them in the accounts department. If they are recounting them. Put them in auditing. If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks. Put them in engineering. If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning. If they are throwing the bricks at each other. Put them in operations. If they are sleeping. Put them in security. If they have broken the bricks into pieces. Put them in information technology. If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources. If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved. Put them in sales. If they have already left for the day. Put them in marketing. If they are staring out of the window. Put them on strategic planning. And then last but not least. If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in Executive Management.

Lockheed Martin delivers First C-130J-30 to Ohio Youngstown Air Reserve Station July 17, 2024 (by Stephanie Stinn) - Lockheed Martin delivered the first (#20-5982) of eight C-130J-30 Super Hercules tactical airlifters assigned to the Ohio Youngstown Air Reserve Station, marking the addition of a new mission capability for the Super Hercules ― the aerial spray mission. Lockheed Martin delivered the first C-130J-30 #20-5982 to the 757th AS assigned to the Ohio Youngstown ARS on July 16, 2024. [Photo by Thinh D. Nguyen] The 910th Airlift Wing has the distinction of maintaining the Department of Defense's only large area, fixed-wing aerial spray capability to eliminate disease-carrying insects and pest insects and to disperse oil spills in large bodies of water. Defined by its versatility, the C-130J Super Hercules now supports 19 unique mission capabilities, including the aerial spray mission. "Lockheed Martin is honoured to deliver the most advanced Super Hercules ever built to the 910th Airlift Wing, providing cutting-edge technology and enabling a critical mission for the U.S. Air Force Reserve," said Rod McLean, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin's Air Mobility & Maritime Missions line of business. "The C-130J is constantly evolving, as reflected with this 19th mission capability, ensuring the Super Hercules remains ready for what's next through unmatched versatility and tactical airlift power." A longtime C-130 Hercules operator, the 910th Airlift Wing received its first C-130 in 1981 and has operated different variants for more than 40 years. This new fleet of C-130Js will preserve the unit's tactical airlift and aerial spray mission while providing more space, speed, range, and versatility for decades to come. "As we welcome the first C-130J aircraft to Youngstown Air Reserve Station, we mark a pivotal moment in our mission readiness. The C-130J Super Hercules stands as a symbol of our Air Force's enduring strength and versatility, ensuring we continue to meet our nation's needs with excellence," said Maj. Gen. Melissa Coburn, 22nd Air Force commander. The U.S. Air Force Reserve operates a mixed fleet of C-130Js and legacy aircraft. The addition of the C-130J Super Hercules ensures the fleet is mission-ready at any given time, delivering unprecedented reach and interoperability. "The 910th Airlift Wing's tactical airlift and aerial spray missions require a capable, reliable and adaptable airframe. Our C-130H Hercules aircraft have provided that for decades. As we retire them from service at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, we look forward to continuing their track record of success with a fleet of new C-130J Super Hercules aircraft," said Col. Mike Maloney, 910th Airlift Wing commander.

Last December, Mark's grandmother was giving him directions to her apartment. "You come to the front door of the apartment complex. There is a big panel at the door. With your elbow push button 14T." She continued, "I will buzz you in. Come inside, the elevator is on the right. Get in, and with your elbow hit 14. I am on the left. With your elbow, hit my doorbell." "Grandma, that sounds easy," replied the grandson, "but why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow"? To which she answered... "You're coming empty handed?"
