SteveV22FE Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hello, I was a GAC troop at Dyess from 91-96. I remember when we transitioned from AMC to ACC, the aircraft were allowed to have nose art. Does anybody have any photos of the nose art that was on any of the aircraft during that time? I remember a few of the aircraft having some pretty impressive artwork applied to them. If I recall, 1689 was "Gizmo" and had a gremlin painted on the side of it. Aircraft 1677 was Rubber Chicken, but I don't think Howie Jack ever got his nose art approve. Do anyone have any pics of these Herks? The reason I am inquiring, is that I would like to an in-flight model an ACC 40 AS Dyess Herk, but there's not a lot of photos on the internet.

SteveV22FE Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Yea...there's a few 40AS Herks from that time period in the Gallery, but no one seemed to capture the left side of the aircraft. Here's 1675, 39AS from that era. You can't make out the nose art. Copyright info on photo via Airliners.net.

SteveV22FE Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Dyess Herk nose art collage... I had no luck finding pics of ACC airframes from 1993-1997 with nose art. I contacted the 317AG Public Affairs office and Mr. Smith was able to snap a few pics of the photos and art that was on the C-130H's during the ACC years.

Monty FE Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I think many of those nose arts are from when the C-130s went back to AMC. I recognize "Damien" (74-1666), Super Herk, Texas Shadow and Hazard 01 from my AMC days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
