prinses Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hey guys, Does anybody know what the "pegasus" and "qantas" markings mean on the forward fuselage of C-130A 54-1625? Thanks, Prinses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlg6016 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Looks like they visited Australia and got zapped by the local squadron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Millen Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 You could not fly within 10000 ft of Australia or any place that they were TDY without getting tagged with a Kangroo. Muff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3_Super_Bee Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 You could not fly within 10000 ft of Australia or any place that they were TDY without getting tagged with a Kangroo. Muff Couldn't get withing 10000 ft of an Australian period, didn't even have to be anywhere close to Down Under. When I was in Executive Transport, we brought the Admiral's plane back from reqork (brand new paint job) Landed in Hawaii around 1800, pulled the plane into the hangar(if you could call it that, more of a carport) Came in the next morning at 0800, and there was a giant orange tiger paw painted on the gloss black forward radome. We were like "Damn Australian's", Then the first person went up to go out on the wing for something, and those damn tiger paws went from the escape hatch all the way to the wing tip on both wings. 20 minutes later, there were about 10 Aussie's all over the plane cleaning that shit off. LOL Hell we went to Australia once with the Admiral. Needed a tire change. They said they would hook us up and change it. Our dust caps that covered the wheel retaining nut were chrome plated. Came in the next morning and had a giant screwdriver X on the cap. About a month later, in Hawaii we recieved a compete set of chrome dust caps for an aircraft for all their troubles LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Prinses The winged 'roo is the older Qantas Imperial Airways one, not the type we zapped visiting aircraft with. Maybe someone from QAL zapped that one.
