Graywolf88 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I am not sure the Air Crew Loss list came with us when the site moved from herkybirds.com I could have missed it in the search and maybe it is here. If not, I do have the entire PDF C-130 Aircrew Loss List current through 2006. I can get it to whoever handles the webmaster duties. PM me if you want it.

Graywolf88 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The Aircrew Loss list is here, but it is password protected. Couldn't open it. Probably a reason it is password protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdaley Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It was 56-0477 from USAF records. Also from USAF records 56-0476 was given to SVAF in 1972. Last seen rotting at Tan Son Nhut. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonDickson Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I can relate to the maintenance guys flying on Blind Bat missions because I was one of them. I was in the Prop shop tdy out of Naha. I flew at least once a month and my last flight was on 56-0477. May 2, 1968 I flew and then rotated back to Naha. I only knew the crew because of that one flight but I will never forget them. On a side note, I came across photos of the recovery process where 0477 was found but can't get back to the link. If anyone has these I would like to see them again. It's an touching process the MIA teams do.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
