DustyRhodes Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Way back when Ardmore got the first C-130's, each aircraft had stripes down the sides of the fuselage. Red, Green or Blue. Did these signify which Squadron the aircraft was assignd to? Red 772nd TCS, Green 773rd TAS, Blue 774th TCS for example? There were also stripes on some aircraft below the U. S. Air Force, behind the "Buzz Number". Where were these aircarft from, Sewart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenweasel Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The stripes came off soon after arriving @ Sewart in 59...the red was 772nd red fox....blue was 773rd blue eagle....green was 774th green weasel....When we deployed to SEA with the B model we painted a large green weasel with a red lightening bolt. Over the top said JFK'S and under was "Big Stick"....they made us remove the jfk. On the wheel wells we had "Tennessee Volunteers". The B was a sweet airplane after we got the starter problem corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
