Does anyone have a mini-TOLD card electronically that they can send me? I lost mine when the laptop failed to feather one night. My hard copies are getting fairly used and I would like to make some new ones. Thanks, Greg

With them switching to WC-130s for training (Why WCs?) Does anyone know how many planes they will get, how many they are loosing , what tail numbers are going there and when is this supposed to happen? Is the Cockpit set up the same on the WCs? Is this to ease some stress off of Little Rock?

Does the Navy in fact utilize the C-130T and are they able to in-flight refuel from a boom.

This isn\'t Herky related but, do you realize how many WWII vets are dying, everyday? Too many....for instance, the Flying Tigers (AVG), who had 300 original members, now have only 21 left. Mr. Paul Clouthier died yesterday and about two weeks ago, one of the most famous of all, died........David Lee(Tex) Hill. Whether you think of them as merely mercenaries or not, they did much for this country at a time when it was desperately needed. Rest in peace, gentlemen. You deserve it.

Back a few years ago, when 193SOS gave up its E\'s for J\'s, the two Senior Hunter aircraft, the ones without the huge radio antennas, moved to Hurlburt. I had heard that AFSOC, SOCOM was going to use them as some sort of Command Post. I just heard from the UK that 63-7816 was over there and was being used as a command post/control center for AFSOC RPV\'s. I never heard of a flying RPV Command Post. Is that true, or just a guess? What are 7815 and 7816 used for? Thanks Bob

Anyone on here that was in the AF reserve unit at O\'Hare back in the late 70\'s? I was in the 928th MAPF at that time. We were over in the old, black alert hangars. What I need to know is can someone shed some light on the older Herks that were there? I know that one did not have the radome and I was told that it was the first one delivered to the AF.
