Rolling-Thunder Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Happened to stumble upon this 1953 issue of Air Force Magazine in an old bookstore today. On the cover, it features an artist's concept of the "upcoming" C-130. Gotta love that nose.......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railrunner130 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I'm a minority I know, but the original nose looks better to me. Reminds me of the Short Empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXTORQ Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 That would be cool to have a framed copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railrunner130 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I've got a framed two page layout from Fortune Magazine July, 1955 that's pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-6Musser Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 That one sitting in the water looks a lot like a Shinmaywa, now the US-2 with RRC (Allison) AE2100s, a beefed up T-56. Sure glad the 130 did not come out looking like that curved up nose thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
