A few updates 74-2072 is at Robins, supposed to be for the Afghans. CT now has at least 2 H's 74-1667 and 74-2134. MT has 1 H 74-1671 OH now has 4 H's; 2 from AK 82-0054 and 0056, one from NY 83-0488, and one from Dobbins 81-0629. Sheppard now has 4 H model trainers 74-1673, 1676, 1684, 2130. This is a strange one; Dobbins is giving up its 81 H models, well maintained with only about 11000 hours on them. So far 81-0628 is at LRF ANG, 81-0629 is at Mansfield, 81-0631 is at LRF ANG and they are getting 50th AS rejects, so far 92-0552 and 93-1039. The 50th H's have around 13000 hours on them and obviously not as well maintained as the older 81 models. The troops in Ma…

[ATTACH=CONFIG]3840[/ATTACH] This is a rare photograph of a Marine KC-130A on its first test flight. The tail says "5046" and I'm trying to find out what Lockheed ship number this aircraft was. Photo was taken in August 1957 at Lockheed Georgia's facility in Marietta. Can anyone help me out with this?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]3813[/ATTACH] © Tom Gibbons – Global Aviation Resource Having made their last operational flights on 25 October, the final two of 66 Hercules C-130K transport aircraft delivered to the RAF – Hercules C3As XV177, callsign “Reynard 1†and XV214 “Reynard 2†– touched down at MOD St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan, on Tuesday 29 October 2013 for storage and potential onward sale.

Does anyone know how many Broad Area Reviews were dedicated to the C-130? The only one I could find is the January 1998 C-130 Broad Area Review. The review does a good job of detailing probable causes of the King 56 Accident http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/a...130-bartoc.htm

Does anyone know of ANG's plans for repair of the T56 engines that are sent to Standard Aero. Their commitment to the contract will be expire in Feb 2014. Rumor is that they will be going back to JEIM level repair. Are they going to establish Engine Regional Repair Center (ERRC), Queen Bees, or JEIM back shops at each base?

Got this from Jerry Mitchell. Can anyone identify it? "I recently picked up (at the flea market) a five/sixteenth inch push (ball) pin with attached remove before flight flag (full size) with the following no. on it NAS 1396-20 and MFR 0904 also hand engraved on the side of the Handel G 601 R 101103-1 . I live fairly close to Warner Robins so I would think it came from there. I would think that someone on the site would know what its off of? I'm looking for some help here to solve the mystery" pic attached Bob
