hi everyone, we always been told the clevis bolts on truss mounts (4 on each center and 2 on each outer truss mounts) are hard landing indicators, if any of them found sheared it means the aircraft suffered a hard landing.. I tried to find this info in the manuals many times but couldn't.. even started to doubt about it I am sure there is a purpose of the special way to install them leaving 0.020-0.040" gap and the restrictions about over-sizing their holes anybody have a clue about it?

I'm trying to locate Pilot and/or Loadmaster Checklists (Amplified, or Abbreviated) for LAPES. Please check your attics, basements, garages, or the dusty archives of your computer for any electronic copies that you may have stashed away "just in case" you might ever need them again. Will pay photo copying/shipping costs for hard copies. PM me if able to assist. Mark

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,

I know there was a thread on here a few years ago but never saw a good answer. Looking for a POC, Webpage etc for C-130 Cartoon Illustrations or Illustrations from Dave Davenport (from the Spring Lake NC/Pope AFB area). I heard he passed away but not sure if he cataloged any of his work for resale or not. Thanks Scott

I just finished reading The Peacemakers by Richard Herman. Besides the outrageous story line (it is a novel), it was nice to read about the C-130 by someone who has a working knowledge of the airplane. I did find a few mistakes, but I'm a flight engineer. The author must have been a navigator because he never calls a map a map. It's always a chart. Don R.
