I am spending too much time today on Google Earth. I was looking at El Alto Airport in La Paz Bolivia. I saw at their AF museum that they have added a C-130A. Pic attached. It is white and the only A's that were white were TAM-69 CP-2184 3228 and Tam-66 CP-2187 3144. 3144 was in pretty bad shape, so I'm guessing the one in the Museum is 3228. Anyone know for sure? Any pics? Bob

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/

Anyone been to BA recently? For a long time Argentina had stored 4 B's and 2 H's at the South end of the ramp at El Palomar airport. Mostly derelict, sort of like the old Cockroach Corner at Miami. Just recently they disappeared. Looks like they may have been scrapped. Does anyone know, what happened and were all 6 scrapped? Thanks Bob

Happy New Year to Everyone! I have been working on a listing with URL addresses and pictures of Herks preserved in Museums or on bases. I have about 75 so far. I could use some help on a few. USAF 64-0541 was destined for AK Museum, was turned down and stored at Anchorage for a long time. Now AF Museum says it belongs to Elmendorf. Anyone know where it is? There appears to be a Herk preserved at Konya AB in Turkey, anyone no what tail number or have a pic? Indonesia C-130B T-1301 is preserved at Bandung, does anyone have a pic? Canadian C-130E 130328 is in CFB Greenwood Museum, anyone have a pic of it restored and on display? Tunisia C-130B T…

This link was posted on here last year. We didn't call them Angel flights but almost always coming back out of Hue to Danang we were the first leg home for our Hero's. I didn't realize what an Honor it was to be a part of this. Have a great Veterans Day. This morning I will perform "Angel Flight" for a Veterans group at our local Community College.

I've seen pictures of the first 2 ex USCG HC-130H's converted and flying for the USFS. 1721 now wears 118 and 1708 now wears 116. The FAA has some N Numbers reserved for the USFS including N118Z and N116Z, but they are not registered with the FAA yet and show no N numbers. My question is why are they not registered and why do they not have N numbers? anyone know? Thanks Bob

C-130E 62-1787 was recently identified as the airplane flown by Captain William R. Caldwell's crew as SPARE 617 over An Loc in April 1972. They were hit by heavy ground fire as they approached the drop zone. Jon Sanders, the engineer, was killed and most of the other crew members were wounded. Captain Caldwell and SSgt. Charles L. Shaub were awarded the Air Force Cross for their actions. 787 is current with the Arkansas Air Guard and is slated to go to the Air Force Museum upon retirement. It'll be on public display at the Yankee Air Museum in Yipsilanti, Michigan July 18-19.
