Skip Davenport Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Question -- could the ghost bird be added to the black and green ugly machine? I realise you would probably have to more the words to below the airplane with the patchs -- just a thought what it would look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise you would probably have to more the words to below the airplane with the patchs -- just a thought what it would look like? I experimented and I can do it, leaving the top as is and removing the patches on the bottom. Otherwise, it is too crowded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Talon 1 F/E Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I got in this late but what version of the Talon 1 are you trying to draw? This one still has the comm. ant. over the flight deck (pre-UARRSI). I have a picture of a Mod 60 Talon 1 that does not have the QRC 84-02's and pre APQ-122. The color sceme on it is black/green with a white belly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Black and Green Talon with a white bottom -- I have never seen. Please post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmac_Project Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The Black and Green MC-130E with the white bottom would be a fitting tribue to the Stray Goose lost in 1967. Engine Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color sceme on it is black/green with a white belly. I am not certain of the exact year(s) of this particular version. Have I mismatched equipment/mods that never were?

mongo Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Old talon 1 FE, Your right and I did not notice that on the print. However like Skip says the variations are many and Casey has to call it good somewhere. My Print is supposed to represent 64-0523 with the 7th in the early 80's the 7th birds got UARRSI in that time frame. I think they all had it by the time I left in 83. The last picture Casey posted is one of the 7th planes also. 64-0523, 0555, 0561 or 0566. thats Doug Mussard standing at the nose. Would like to see the white bellied pic also if ya got one. Cheers!

casey Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 could we see a draft?? It's a pretty tight fit. Should I make it avaliable in the Print Shop? [ATTACH]747[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Talon 1 F/E Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'll have to remove it from the frame, scan it and figure out how to post it. It's an old 5x7 black and white. I haven't looked but, isn't there in this site a picture of a Mod 60 Talon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Talon 1 F/E Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Better yet Skip, get out your copy of Praetorian Starship and on page 72 is a copy of the Talon 1 with a white belly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Davenport Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Better yet Skip, get out your copy of Praetorian Starship and on page 72 is a copy of the Talon 1 with a white belly. OK I will give ya that one I am also trying to see if Russ Darden might have a picture as he flew Talons in Nam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 In the late 60's, the Talon 1s came out of depot with a white belly, just because that was what was on the approved paint drawing. The using organizations often painted the underside totally black with local approval. This shot may have been a Heavy Chain....
