Ronc Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Does anyone have the tail number and maybe some history of the B-model that sacrificed itself to become the AC-130U simulator at Hurlburt Field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmac_Project Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 According to the C-130 Production list the "B" model is 58-0713. And I am sure there are members here that served with the aircraft that can give a history background. I personally got to see one B model my whole career and it was a guard aircraft visiting Rhein Main back in 1986, and the only things I remember is it looked odd without external tanks and the air smelled really bad because they had cooked their brakes making their turn off. It sat out behind the engine shop for a couple days while they changed the brakes. Engine Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
