bobdaley Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Saw on another website that there was a C-130 stored at Huntsville. I think I heard about that before, but it is lost in old timers. Anyone know which one it is? Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre623 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hey Bob, I googled Huntsville and found a C-130 look a like but could not find a Herk. This one really looks like one till you get close enough to see the wing clearly. The leading is swept backward and the trailing edge is straight... the exact reverse of a Herk wing. The motors stick out a bit to much. It is located between the parallel runways just west of Red Stone to the right of the main terminal. Where is the real Herk located?

bobdaley Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Bill What are the coordinates. Thanks Bob Bill I think I found the one you saw at 34 39N 86 46 09W I don't know what that is? A four engine prop but not a Herk. I'll try to get the URL for that other post. Bob Here is the URL It looks like a Herk on the ground and the shadow of the Herk that took the pic on there too. Any idea what a geo tag is?

DC10FE Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Bill, My browser won't let me go to Google Earth (the computer's headed to the shop on Monday), but when I used to wander around my old stomping grounds in Africa, I'd come across what looked like a C-130, but was actually an An-12 with the swept back leading edge and straight trailing edge. Could that be what you're seeing? Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Drawing of the AN-12. Can you image riding tail gunner during a low level in a Herc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre623 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 You found it Bob,2 tone blue, silver and white. It does appear to be an AN 12 SFE George. Also the link showing the Herk is inflight as you can see its shadow. A geo tag basically just gives the pictures a location on earth.

DC10FE Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Wonder what an An-12 is doing in Huntsville? Back when I was flying out of Miami in early 2000, on my days off, I'd take a drive up to Opa-locka and wander around the airport. There were a couple of An-26's and an An-12 based there. They had a Uzbekistan "UK" registration. Never found out what they were doing there. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
