bobdaley Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I was trying to help with a list of herk models and prefixes and suffixes(I think those are the right words) anyhow here is the list I came up with. any corrections? thanks Bob Herk Models.xls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Just a couple thoughts Bob. By suffix you have the H listed as basic, which is true, but the was a Rescue H as well (HC-H). You have JHC-130Ps listed. The P's at Hickam we just HC-Ps. There was no test/recovery equipment on them. So unless there are JCH-Ps used elsewhere... All in all, a good, comprehensive list.

Sonny Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Looks like a good list. Strange that there were no AC-130B's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi George Thanks for the reply. I put the HC-130H under C-130H because the chart I got from Lockheed showed it as a variant of the H. There was only 1 JHC-130P It was 4143 65-0988. It was called a JHC-130P in 1966 when it was at Wright Patt for tests in 1966. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Good list, Bob. You, like myself, are living proof that retirement leaves one with a lot of time on one's hands. Just sayin" Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that the HC-H/P/Ns came out way before the H that they'd called the HC-H a varient when it would seem that the H was the varient. But that's Lockgreed.

Ronc Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I was trying to help with a list of herk models and prefixes and suffixes(I think those are the right words) anyhow here is the list I came up with. any corrections? thanks Bob Bob, We started with 13 AC-130U and we picked up 4 more H2 from Louisville I believe that brings the total to 17. Not sure if that was the point of your list or not so forgive me if I missed something. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ron Thanks, I forgot those 4, I changed my list. George I could not agree more between Lockgreed and Robins, God only knows. My favorite right now according to Robins there is still one C-130E flying with the USAF. 64-14859?? It started life as an HC-130H, Then It became an EC-130H, then a C-130H and finally a C-130E. Robins' reason was it was more like an E model than an H model even though it still has -15 Engines. It is now used for tests and pilot pros by AFMC at Waco.

Dutch Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Bob, when you get your list complete will you please post it here for all to see. TIA "Dutch" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Dutch I'll wait a few days to see if there are any corrections and post it again. The list above is up to date for now except the correction for 17 AC-130U's Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Podboy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Bob, Should L-100-20/HTTB (High Technology Test Bed) be listed separately or is it just grouped with the L-382E’s? Also I’ve seen C-130X-AMP used in a couple of articles. Would that be listed somewhere? Thanks, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I did not list 4412 the HTTB separately because even though it was a highly modified aircraft Lockheed never changed its designation from L-100-20 382E. I also heard it called the C-130X but it never was a C-130. It's FAA registration though was N130X. I listed the AMPs as C-130H because that is what USAF calls them. the -AMP was unofficial. Thanks for the input. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes more E than H, but guess they forgot about the 73 series. E models with -15s and called H's. It was like they took 72 models, slapped on some -15s and called them H models.

HeyChief Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Great list! Only suggestions I have: 1) Reflect that the MC-130Ws were redesignated as AC-130Ws and 2) I believe the AC-130Hs were designated AC-130Es until they were upgraded and redesignated AC-130Hs.
