To me, this is a T-model. It's got the old wire antenna, APU and Rosemount pitots. If so, why is the Navy getting rid of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCC140965 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 It was Buno 162313 a KC-130T then a EC-130Q and went as such to AMARC in 1991 and then on to the DMI scrapyard. The Dutch have had it coverted to a C-130H standard at Cambridge, UK by Marshalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPTestFE Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Just because they look like Rosemont pitot tubes doesn't mean they really are. I really don't know, but if you look at the AMP, you'll swear it has Rosemont, but it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DHS Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Dear Herk Fan. The First Dutch C-130H is a update C-130 with digitale cockpit. On dutch defense site you can find more informatie about. This is the link; http://www.defensie.nl/actueel/defensiebladen/defensiekrant/2010/46148787/Defensiekrant_08_2010 ps. this a defens news paper. The second dutch and two C-130H-30 get same upgrade like the C-130H. I hope that this in enough informatie Stephan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew many times on this plane when I served as an aircrew member with VQ4 from '88-'91. The reason the Navy "got rid of it" is because they transitioned to the E6A Heremes/Geko (707 airframe) in 1991. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Holy smokes, its a small herc world! I was just in St Johns, Newfoundland with these guys. We were there for a mission and they were bringing their first plane home. I got to look around, pretty neat, much better then our H models. But nothing like our J model, sorry legacy guys. They were broke while we were there so we had to give them our hanger space but later we all had steak and lobster. Great guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
