wysongj Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Thailand---Air/Lockheed-Martin-C-130H/2051459/L/ I saw this picture today. Bummer! How much work do you think would be involved to get these two flying again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenFE Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 If the water didn't get any higher than that I would say minimal maintenance to get into flyable condition. St Joe's H-2's some years back during their big flood were in water up to the wing roots. They're flying today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryguyokc Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Is there any photos of the planes in water up to the wing root from that St. Joes flood?!? That had to be a sight to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
