CCFH Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I am looking for older or more recent pictures of my old acft. AC-130H 69-6575 and 6574. If anyone happens to have some floating around that would be very helpful. Actually any and all AC-130H pictures would be awesome as well. Thanks.

Guest cobra935o Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Here I am putting LOX on 6575 circa 1993 at Brindisi Italy, when I was an ACC on the plane. Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmat Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ARC (Aircraft Research Center, a modeler's site ) discussion forum has some pictures of AC-130Hs. You might find some of 575 and 574. You could also search AC-130E/H on that forum. A number of threads had interesting information and pictures. This is a thread for C-130 pictures. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=135422&st=260&start=260 Best wishes, Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCFH Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I sure do miss Brindisi. That place was awesome! Of course I got there in 96 so i missed out on the good per diem. Thank you all for the posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cobra935o Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The pic I posted was from the very first gunship deployment over to Brindisi, in June of 1993. You may have missed out on the good per diem, but you also missed out on a lot of crap as well, namely the tents. They werent bad, it was the shower and shitter tents that sucked. They stunk, and didnt drain all too well! Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCFH Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I remember hearing my supervisor talk about all the fun stuff as well as the suck fest. Memory serves rapelling with a garden hose and the water tower were a few of the stand out stories I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cobra935o Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I am pretty sure I remember both of those incidents as well as some fights on the beach, lawnmowers in the dorms, suprise coin checks in the showers when we were living in the gym, etc. etc. Who was your supervisor?

CCFH Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Kirt P Maxey. Along with whomever else wanted to chew my ass for being new and dumb. Then again all the stuff I pulled when I was young and dumb it's a wonder I am still around. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cobra935o Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Maxey, man, I was I over there with him plenty of times, as well as other trips. I think he was on 68, 69, or 71 at that time though, cant remember for sure. Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCFH Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Kirt P Maxey, Keeb, Skumanick, and a slew of others...hell anyone that wanted to yell at me for all the dumb crap. Remember the story about the bobtail? Yup that was me and jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cobra935o Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Maxey has to be retired by now dont he? Are any of the others still in anymore? I havent heard Keeblers names in a long time or Tony Skumanic either. I know a lot of the guys that were around there when I was there have either been long gone or have retired, like Benson, Bobo, Davis, etc. etc. I went down to the U model side in 1995 as well, and especially after we switched buildings back to woody hideout we didnt keep in touch with a lot of the H guys anymore, just too dang busy!

I found another one, the 509 in Nam. (Vietnam was called "Indochina" in Europe, when the french were there). As to Brindisi, it a "stop" for the Belgian C-130's. In 96 you sure must have seen some of them, in a grey colour scheme and black nose. Anyhow here's the link to the gunschip: http://www.spectre-association.org/images/acphotos/BillGlenn/122.jpg Greetz from JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brindisi is a stop for a lot of 130s, as it used to be a European Depot facility for 130's, not sure if they are doing that anymore there or not (I think Mildenhall, and some of the other US 130 bases in Europe used to do their depots there), and I believe all of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Burma, were probably refered to as "Indochina" for the area as a whole.
