I was thinking it would be nice to see if after all of these years there are still some guys out there that are still looking for some word about their old friends. Especially in the late 60's to the early 70's. You know, the guys from Naha, CCK. Ubon, Tachikawa, Clark, Max Tan etc. All were Viet Nam Veterans probably! Maybe we could post a pic or two ---if we still remember how!!! I will try 1st: I know all of these people Ken ,

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.

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!
