airnav Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Wow! To be able to own a Herk! Talk about having dollar signs in my eye's! But then again, I better stick to NASCAR stores, pre-owned pickup truck lot's, and my marriage. Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Jacek, Did you knock over a bank or hit the lottery in Poland. If you need a crew chief for that bird keep me in mind OK. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob130ab Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 GSa has a B model up for auction starting on 3 June. It requires a $25,000 bid deposit. I think that you will need more than one crew chief. Tail No N707NA, 58-0712. It looks like one of the planes that NASA used for research. Auction web address is WWW.gsaauctions.gov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 That one is a little rought around the edges Bob, I think Jacek was looking for something a bit better. Maybe something in a "J" model. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsam Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 OK gentlemen I was just curious about used Herk asking price Older models or civilian L-100. No way that I`m able to buy one. cheers J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrkaegi Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Gsa just sold the FAA's B 727-100 Tail # N 40 for 113,000. I would be surprise that 130B would go for more. So go and bid,you just win. Also faa has parts going up for bid. And it's Big bucks going cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Derco has L-100 5225 in very good shape for sale. You might find a price on their website. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre623 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Nice pic of the only "C" model Bob. The BLC engines were YT-56A-6 turbojets without the gear boxes and props. It was the 7th B model built. The flaps dropped down 90 degrees from the wing as did the ailerons. It also used a 22 foot dia. drag chute to get the landing speed down to 60 MPH at max weight. It was assigned to the 4950th Test Group. Later this aircraft was moded and became the NASA Earth Survey 2, acft.

bob130ab Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I thought that was the NASA C-130 from Ellington Field Texas. I worked for NASA, Johnson Space Center for 28 years in the Transportation Branch. But I was not on flight statis until after the C-130 was gone. I did load planning and supervised the loading of the Super Guppy until we retired it. JSC acquired a newer Guppy with C-130 engines after I retired in 1992. They still have the lastest Guppy but I understand that they don't have any more work for it as all of the oversized loads for the Space Station have been delivered to the Kennedy Space Center.

bobdaley Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Same airplane, NASA had it at Johnson and Ames. They got it in 1960, after the C-130C model tests were completed. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre623 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 After the BLC tests it was demodded back to basic B model with wings and rudder from a damaged acft. It picked up the civ reg N929NA and later to N707NA after it went to NASA. NASA put an extended radom on it and several other mods.

Herkeng130 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 She should have the gear slapped back on and put in a museum... instead of sold for what will result in scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EClark Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Is this the only C-130 that had six engines if so it should be saved if at all possible don't you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fräulein Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi, if one want to buy used Herk, ex-military or L-100 , what will be the ~price? best regards J. Thinking that it would make an awesome RV? Huh? Be like those elderly people that "RV" in a dinky little cessna. Who have to rent a car and hotel room, for every stop they make. Where as with a herk, you can bring your own transportation and you have a nice little hammock to sleep in at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I heard recently about $28 Mil for a civilian Herk in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Now all we need to do is float a loan from China, Because the u.s. banks will not give you a loan. I still won`t to be crew chief on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I have inspected the NASA NC-130B recently and you'd need all 4 engines and props to fly it. It has roller doors underneath the belly plus no cargo-style floor. It has a passenger module fitted plus the fwd floor has big holes for the cameras. Would make for an expensive rework to haul cargo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC10FE Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I flew the second airplane (msn 5225) listed on the above DERCO web site for 1 1/2 years with Frameair in Angola. When we showed up in Luanda, it had 66 hours on it. It's a really good airplane, but it would probably take an extra million bucks to get the avionics up to real world standards. When it was new (1991), it had state-of-the-art Omega, INS & an aftermarket GPS. I don't know what H-model variant it would equate to, but it has the Rosemount pitot system, digital fuel gauges, a flushing loo and a reclining FE seat (beautiful!!). Don R.

I did an inspection yesterday and we were told a condition of sale is that it cannot be flown. Besides, the documentation showing last flight with current time had "disappeared" some time since the a/c was opened for inspection for last year's attempt to sell it.
