tinwhistle Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 OK guys, I hate to show my ignorance, but this is really bugging me. What is E FLT?

EFLTatCCK Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 John, E-Flight were the Silver C-130A's that were sister ships to Blind Bat at Naha which was part of the 374th. In 1971 E-Flight moved to CCK with Gray C-130E's when the 314th moved back to the US and the 374th moved to CCK. We had 5 Gray Birds. We moved to Clark in mid 1974,where I discharged from E-Flt and the USAF in late July 1974. EFLTatCCK Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) OK guys, I hate to show my ignorance, but this is really bugging me. What is E FLT? Help?? Chris, Here's a web site that might explain what E-flight was. It's in PDF format. Around page 11 (I think) is where E-flight is sort of explained.

bobdaley Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I saw recently someone claimed that E Flight airplanes besides being used by Air America in Laos were also used by the Taiwanese to fly deep into Mainland China. Not confirmed. I remember some black C-123's at Nha Trang that were supposedly used by the Taiwanese for that but had not heard about the Herks. There is a lot of info out there about Herks supporting Tibet, but those were not reported as E Flight? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
