M_Wales Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I was looking around awhile back on google earth and noticed that there was a Herk parked out on Camp Perry here in Virginia. Camp Perry is only a few miles up I-64 from my house here in Newport News and I'm thinking about paying it a visit and trying to get some pictures of it. Now thats if they don't run me off eh!!! May give it a shot this coming weekend. Anyone know what Tail it is? Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Mark I am 95% sure it is 57-0519 c/n [cn]3226[/cn] , but the CIA says they do not have it. It came from the RI ANG. It was supposedly delivered to the CIA at Langley AFB, in Jan 1989 and flown to Camp Perry. I would really like to get a picture of it. I have not been to Camp Perry, "The Farm," since 1971, when I was in 37 TAS at Langley. Good luck getting on the base. I can't even get them to answer a phone call or letter.

M_Wales Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 I googled Camp Perry, Va. and found this picture. Prohibited: Camera & Photographic equipment Not sure this would be a good idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaprad Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 No explosives, no Cameras and no alcohol? What kind of place is this? I for one won't be visiting anytime soon. Now that the joking is out of the way. According the Lars book of many things C-130, it is 519. I'll ask around, see if anyone has heard anything about it.

M_Wales Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 I forgot I have a couple of Lars books and see where from the 23rd edition, Langley to the 25th edition, Camp Perry. Thanks Guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGRetired Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 There's another one just down the road at Naval Supply Center, Cheatham Annex that you can get to. The Navy uses it as a load trainer. I drove back to it a couple of months ago. I didn't get a number but it looks like an A model. Senior sends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Wilson Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I didnt know there were two camp Perry's, when I see that name I think of Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio, where the national rifle matches are held. Sounds like this is the super secret Camp Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3_Super_Bee Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I didnt know there were two camp Perry's There's not really, one is Camp PERRY and the other is Camp PEARY. The later being in Virginia, and also better known as "The Farm" Also to note the later is a Naval Reservation, where as the one in Ohio is a National Guard Facility.
