donwon Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Anyone remember the A model at CRB that hit a morter hole in the runway and tore the nose l/g from under it? I think the number was 55-0033, or 54-0033. The base Co. had a cable run through the cocpit windows to pull it off the runway but the cable tore out the front windows. What ever happened to it?

Dodd Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hello all just found and joined the site, I have been looking for information on 3114 56-0506 I was on the RAM team (Rapid Area Maintenance) out of Tan Son Nhut we were sent to Tuy Hoa AB in May 1966 to recover the wings from the plane for parts when we got there the Army officer who had the tank try to pull the C-130 and destroyed it (was gone) We removed the wings and prepared them for transport to Tan Son Nhut but I understand that before they could be transported an Army helicopter in an effort to look at the plane prop washed the wings and destroyed them. Thanks for the 4 pictures of the plane posted here I have been looking for info. on this plane for a long time. Thanks for allowing me to join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the C130.net site after being written off The aircraft was subsiquently used by the USArmy as an officer's club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
