Hi all, Been a while since I last posted on here but can anyone confirm if WC-130H 65-0984 is with the KY ANG please? Have seen a report of it flying with the 165th in December of 2012 but I can't find any images of it wearing KY ANG markings. In fact I can't find any images of 65-0984 after 2011! Thanks, Koen

Hey, Anyone out there who was stationed with the 67th? I was maintenance, hydraulics, 1969 - 1972 there. Good duty and lots of good memories.

I heard that 68-10935 was flown back from Ramstein to Martinsburg WV to be used as a trainer? to be preserved? Maybe RZ can find out for us. This was the last flying 68 model. They were delivered the year I started flying Herks. I never flew a Herk that young. Bob

I saw 68-10940 on a flatbed sans wings and tail going south down Skibo Rd (by the mall in Fayetteville NC) with a police escort, Tuesday, the 10th. Anyone know were it was going? It looked in good shape so I don\'t think it was going to the scrap yard. I have 118.4 hours of my life in that tube of pain. John Gaudelli

Can any of you guys help me out with getting a picture of what 68-10943 looks like now at Warner Robins? A while back I seen a pic of her with her wings off evidently being used as a ground training aircraft of some sort. I understand it went to depot with a cracked wing box and never came back out. I was asst crew chief on it 84-85, I am in contact with the crew chief from that time period also and a later crew chief on her and I told those guys I seen a pic of her once sitting stripped at W.R.and I would find it again for them. Well, I cant find it. I am hoping maybe some one could share a pic of her in her current state. Thanks As a side note, if anyone reading t…

I found this on utube and thought some of you guys might like to see this. I was at Rhien Main 84-86 but I still recognize quite a few faces on here in 93. I was pretty much a trash hauler and 18 series CC. but got mixed up with the 7th guys a few times. Fun group to go tdy with!! Kind of "tacky" video, but some good mc-130 shots in it. Hope you enjoy it.

Just saw a pic of 1598 in the Gallery, 4573b. Was it converted to an AWADS bird? If not then what's the nipple on the radome? Don't recall it being one at LR. [h=1][/h]

Goodbye, Old Friend: Members of the 79th Rescue Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., executed the unit's final mission in the HC-130P personnel recovery airplane. The squadron is transitioning to the new, more capable HC-130J model and expects to commence operations with it in October, according to a base release. The final HC-130P sortie came on Sept. 12 as a crew took the aircraft out for roughly seven hours, states the release. Upon landing, squadron colleagues and family members greeted the crew on the flightline to mark the occasion. Lt. Col. Christopher McCarthy, a 563rd Rescue Group instructor pilot, who was the aircraft commander on the sortie, said he thinks the…

Hey everyone, 1st time poster. Anyway i was watching AFN and they had a piece on a new C-130 8 bladed prop that is being designed for the NY ANG flying the LC-130\'s. They said it was to help them by giving them more power/thrust for taking off in snow and to stop using the JATO rockets due to $$$. Can anyone shine more light on this development and does anyone know if these new props will go on E\'s and H\'s? I\'m guessing they will have to mod the valve housing alittle Thanks Joe

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/10/16/lockheed-transport-idUSL1N12G02H20151016 Wonder where they are headed? If half go to USAF and half are split between USCG and USMC- Are the Yokota airplanes included? If Yokota takes 20, then 3 ANG/AFRC units would get Js. With all the airplane shuffles lately, would that mean Mansfield, CT and MT? Although I think MT is getting Savannah's H2s.

I was asked about what happened to the cockpit of 84-0211, the H model destroyed by a tornado at DE ANG. I knew but forgot, Oldtimers! I think the CLSS people at Robins helped cut it up? Bob

I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of these H2s. They are going through conversion to WC-130s down at Dobbins? I worked them when thy were slicks at Charlie West, 130th AW. I would really love to see 1302, 1306 and 1307. 88-1307 was my plane. Hope the Special ops guys have as good of a time on them as we did. Thanks

Saw an article posted in the Montgomery Advertiser saying Niagara's Hercs going to replace the ones at Montgomery. The 908ths going to Boneyard. Isn't the 908th currently flying H2s? Niagara used to fly early model H3s but I'm not sure what they have now. http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/local/dispatch/2017/01/12/first-8-new-aircraft-land-908th-airlift-wing-tonight/96486452/

JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq -- After 47 years of service, a C-130E completed its last combat mission while in Iraq. Upon reaching its total aircraft hours of more than 33,220, the Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark. aircraft was retired. "It's a very sad day when an aircraft retires," said Capt. Bradley Allen, 777th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unit officer in charge. "A lot of people over many years have put in hard work and countless hours to maintain the aircraft - to see this one go, especially since it is a good flyer, it is a sad day." Although days away from retirement, tail 9813 remained vital to the mission as its last few hours of flight were spent …
