airforce1 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Where Can I find outer wings for C-130 in after market rates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1300 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It I were loooking for outer wings, I\'d be talking to customer support at Lockheed Martin. If they don\'t have them, they know who does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Do you need an airworthy set, a static display set or for mock-up use? If you need them for static or mock-up, we have a set from an early E model. They have been repaired upper and lower and are first generation E wings. They are not in a condition where you would want to fly with them, but are still sealed and mounted on an airframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerkPFE Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 If you need a set for static display or as a teaching tool, contact Joel at B&G Industries @ 317-258-8204 and ask him to find out if there are any A model outer wings out in storage and who owns them. Tell him Greg sent you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 National Aircraft in Tucson has about 10 sets of A model wings still installed that are in display condition as well as 1 set of low time (less that 1500 hours) with records. All are available for sale. They also have 1 set of early E models wings (square dry bay access doors) suitable for class room or static display condition still mounted to the center wing.

herkman Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The ex RAAF C130A 3214 owned by Earl Cherry is going to require some outer wings. These are the original ones and according to Snow Aviation need replacing. There should be a market for real late model wings, the RAF already have concern about the fatique on their J models. Ernie you might like to comment, but I think the problem with the RAF ones cause by the high AUW they fly at and maybe how agressively they fly the airplane. Have heard nothing yet about the RAAF ones, but fatique is a real issue on the RAAF H models, again caused in part by agressive army requirements. regards Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Col, Pt Cook might like to know Earl is flying 214! Also the wings on Earl's a/c, 212, were replanked in the mid-70's along with all the other A's. I'm waiting to hear from Earl again regarding sorting the RAAF records so he can understand them. I spoke to him in Dec, 08 about the records and possibly getting a wing assembly (tip-to-tip) that are less than 1500 hours as the RAAF did not fit the beefed up centre wing nor did they fit the 220 splice plates to the outer wings.
