cc135r Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 All, I was directed to this site by Casey. We are working on starting an Mx Qual & Trng Prgm (MQTP) at Hurlburt Field. If anyone knows of legacy (non-J model) training aids/devices available out there (FTD closing down, ect.) please let me know! I will continue to check this board or you can e-mail me at [email protected] Thanks! VJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I suspect that Dobbins will have a ton of things if you can find someone there - Bill Estes can maybe point you in a direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaprad Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 If you need any parts, I can look around at depot and see if I can get some stuff sent to you. What kind of training aids are you looking for exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc135r Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Jake, Thanks for the info! I will try to get a hold of him or someone else at Dobbins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc135r Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 We have quite a wish list: MLG strut & trunion, wheel & tire assy w/brake x 2. NLG strut w/trunion. APU, APN-59, radome hinge for starters. If you come across other items you think we could use, please let us know. We will be teaching all flightline specialities... Thanks!

herkteacher Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 You might want to get ahold of Sheppard AFB, TX. They should be scrapping or shipping out a few -130s here in the near future. I can't promise anything, but when I was teaching there (362nd); 2 of us and an L3 Rep went to LRAFB to pick some birds to replace those we use for crew chief training (about 6-7 planes). When I left, we were going to get the "new" planes staggered in over the next couple of months. In the past, most of them were broken up on the old SAC ramp by a contractor. Some of us would get some of the remnants as training aides. You should be able to get most of the stuff, 'cept the radar and APU. All the ones we dealt with were 62, 63, and maybe a 64 model (GTC only). The radars were deactivated, but I don't know to what degree. If you're looking for real old stuff, the A model at Medical Readiness may still be there, if they haven't chopped her yet. Med Red pulled out to move to Fort Sam? and took their E with them, left the A because it was "too old" I think. If you still need parts, shoot me an email, I think I can still reach some knowledgable people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
