Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Of course, everyone knows that the DC-130A's had T56-A9 engines, right? What was the purpose of the two drain masts on the bottom of the engine? (Sorry, the drain masts can not be clearly seen in this Picture of the Week) Edited January 13, 2009 by TalonOneTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GVS Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Seems to me one was the actual drain mast and the other was a vent/breather mast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncleglenn Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Donwon--- I'm told those yellow thingies hanging between the engines are where the "Training Wheels" for new pilots are mounted. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donwon Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Some of our new pilots sure could have used them back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn, Seems like the EPA missed a chance to require another smog device. They shoulda' had a PCV valve installed.... John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
