23 May 1969 A drunken U.S. Air Force assistant crew chief, Sgt. Paul Adams Meyer, 23, of Poquoson, Virginia, suffering anxiety over marital problems, started up a Lockheed C-130E Hercules, #63-7789, c/n 3856, of the 36th Tactical Airlift Squadron, 316th Tactical Airlift Wing, on hardstand 21 at RAF Mildenhall and took off in it at 0655 hrs.

The Hercules flew over the Thames estuary and headed south towa…

Is "Ghost riders in the sky" still the great song among Gunship folks these days? I remember being in the company of some crazy S.O.Bs. in the NCO club at Kirtland , as soon as Ghost riders began to play (Johnny Cash version) these dudes started hooten and hollerin like a pack of mad dogs while standing damn near at full attention while hoisting their pitchers of beer all the while as the song played from start to finish. These boys were in town with one of their birds for an appt at the refurb shop. Helluva bunch of good folks though! Little did I know that years later later I would be joining those folks.

Hi, I'm trying to find some documentation that shows the screens and operation of the AMU in the C-130J but I haven't had any success yet. I'd love to get a copy of NAVAIR 01-75GAJ-1.2 because I know it has the info I'm looking for but I'd take anything that documents the AMU. I'd also love a copy of NAVAIR 01-75GAJ-1.1 (or equivalent) but it's not as critical. I'm working on a C-130 add-on for MSFS2020 and I think I have most of the information I need for the different variants but the AMU operation in the 'J' remains elusive so hopefully someone can help. Best regards, AMP.

My group has been asked to do some maintenance support work on a C-130J. The problem is we're expected to bring our own equipment. Does anyone have any idea how I can get hold of a Support Equipment List so I know what to go ask for?

Hi all, I'm not a C-130 bubba, but I did fly on P-3's back in the day. I'm on the civilian side and looking a for a bit of knowledge from Herc pilots/maintainers. I've been reading through some maintenance documents particular to the exterior lighting system. The TO references aircraft modified by TO 1C-130-1167, which is a retrofit adding strobes to the anti-collision lights. I'm curious if this was a widespread retrofit and non-strobe ACLs are the exception, or it was only applied in a limited fashion. Any info would help...cheers and happy holidays!

There's a video on YouTube showing two Southern Air Transport loadmasters "surfing" off the ramp of a Herc after air drops in the southern Sudan. It was taken about 10 or more years ago. One of the loadmasters was the late Dennis Garcia and I can't remember the other one's name. I had it bookmarked on my computer (I thought), but now I can find it. I've typed just about everything relevant into Google, but nothing comes up about it. Can anyone help? Anyone? Thanks in advance. Don R.
