Has anybody experienced fuel leak that occurs only in flight but not on ground. Our C130H recently leaked fuel from the No2 Main Tank, trailing edge of the wing. I attached a video showing the leak. VID-20190410-WA0008.mp4

I am going to be painting and lettering a radio control C-130H model in the near future. I plan to replicate a WVANG craft. I have some photos of the plane I want to model, but I was wondering if there is a source, short of trying to contact someone at the Guard or AF, for paint and lettering diagrams that show placement and size of the various lettering and markings on the plane? Thanks for any help Jim

Hello dear herc crew! can some one kindly guide me about the following, please:- As per graph of bleed effect on max power, with all bleed on the torque at sea level is lesser as compared to that for 2000 feet and 4000 feet and higher pressure altitudes. Lets say we start with 15000 thousand inch pounds, and see torque against sea level, then 4000 feet then 8000 feet; the torque keeps rising? why the effect of drawing all bleed (air conditioning, pressurization & anti-icing) is more pronounced at sea level aa compared to higher pressure altitudes?

Hello expert herc crew! In the performance manual of c130 E through H models, it is stated that 3 engine ops will cause certain changes in torque and fuel flow. The author at one point (3 eng ops) states it as fuel flow loss of 08 pounds per hour per engine. On the other hand, for 2 eng ops he calls it a fuel flow decrease of 24 pounds per hour per engine. Why the difference and what to interprete from this. The picture of mentioned paragraph is attached, pls. Kindly throw some light on it.

Hello all, Looking to find some information for lettering and markings for the old Canadian Camouflage scheme if anyone has anything to share that would be great. I did find a good source of decals at leading edge which was exactly what I was looking for unfortunately they are 1:72 scale and my RC bird is much larger then that so I figure I would lose some resolution from scanning them and enlarging them to suit. Let me know if you have anything. Cheers,

Sorry for the intrusion by a non flyer, but I am looking for online reference regarding the placement and configuration of the electroluminescent formation lights on a C-130H. The info is for the purposes of detailing a 1/25 scale flying RC model. I have included simulated lights for the fuselage and vertical stab since they are readily visible in most photos. Photos that show the slime lights on the top and bottom of the wings, fuselage and horizontal stab are harder to find. Is anyone here familiar with any photos or diagrams that would help? Thanks for your time. Photo attached is the model I am working on with a 1/25 scale Humvee for reference. …

While there was only 5 of us on the crew it took thousands to get is in and keep us in the air. I want to thank all the Crew Chiefs that made sure we had a good airplane each day. They stayed as log as it took to get the airplane back in the "Green". Thanks to all the MX guys that fixed the planes we "broke". The fuelers that topped us off. The list goes on forever. For ever one of us that had wings there was 50,000 to support us. I especially want to thank the great Pilots that brought me home every night. I was 19 and thought these guys were old men..Most were in their late 20s. Happy veterans day to all of you.

I'm not sure where this post belongs as the VA claims threads are no longer on the site. Until a few months ago the word RAMP was where we parked the airplane or what I lowered to load rolling stock. I never parked on a Tarmac and never used that word until I heard it on CNN. At FedEx it was still a Ramp. I have had a hearing claim in the Black Hole since late 2014. No one could give me any information as to the progress or when I might get a decision. It was in the appeals process. In the Spring I got a letter from the VA inviting me to move my appeal out of the "legacy" appeals process and into the new RAMP (Rapid Appeals Modernization Process) system. My first thought …

I've been searching for hours, what is the difference in equipment/instrumentation/etc. between a TC-130 and a C-130? I know the TC- is a training aircraft but is there any true difference between a TC-130 and a C-130 other than the job it has?
