My recollection also. I'm thinking it was the standard U.S. Army stretcher. Kept one on my aircraft. Robertus, perhaps it would help it you talked to one of your army buddies.

BobWoods Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Any military hospital should have a room full of them, the newer ones may still have the FSN on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry myers Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Robert, you are the man. When I read Capt. Eko's initial post I thought this one is going to die on the vine. But no way, not on this web site. The ability of the active posters to come up with answers to obscure questions never ceases to amaze me.

jmitch Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Giz I remember having two on each plane used to use one of them on the long over water missions streached two 5000 straps across the center with one of them, that way I could scan and rest my eyes at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Point of Contact USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, 2947 Fifth Street, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio 45433-7212, DSN 798-2716 or 937-938-2716. www.wpafb.af.mil/afrl/711hpw/usafsam.asp I know I'm chiming in a bit late, but the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine would be a great place to find what current equipment is being used and trained on for Air Evac. I did my training at Brooks many moons ago and I can tell you this place probably has the info you need and maybe more.

We had to get a big stretcher for our ambulance, just too many back injuries trying to haul giant people around, the technical name was a bariatric cot, but we called it a Shamu cot, for obvious reasons....

larry myers Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Larry, didn't all the 316th planes have at least one, some two?????? Or is my mind more befuddled than normal???? Hi Giz, Sorry it took so long to respond. It has to do with, as you wrote, befuddlement. lol I'm guessing you're correct. However, I didn't spend much if any time on aircraft other than my own, so I really can't say. Somewhat off subject, my favorite place to rest inflight was a hammock hung above the ramp and door. When accompanying my aircraft cross country I tried to get as much sleep as possible while inflight. The reason being I never knew how long it would take to get the aircraft ready for next morning's departure. Sometimes', if the aircraft was in good shape I'd be in the Q in a couple of hours. Other times would still be there when you and the FE would show for the -1PR. Took more than one shower in the flight line fire station. Those were the good old days.

tinwhistle Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Ya know guy's, I've been wracking my brain (no big deal!!!!) since this thread started and I cannot remember a stretcher being on any of the 464th/776th 1963 and 1964 E models from Pope. The only time I recall actually using one was when I helped with the KIA's we picked up for transport to the morgue. I'm reasonably sure that if there had been one as standard equipment I'd have known about it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizzard Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Did different wings have different equipment lists???? TW, you may be the best to answer this, when I was in basic survival at Fairchld, in december 70, one of the troops in my squad was an FE from Pope. He insisted that the POB birds had seat pack type survival kits in the racks, and that they were attached to the chutes before bailout. I told him that the 316th birds only had chutes and the racks held the survival suits. And I did not think our chutes could even accept the seat packs. Oh no he insisted the planes are all the same............Any thoughts???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinwhistle Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Well, I certainly cannot speak with any authority, however, I find it hard to believe that every C-130 that rolled off the assembly line was equipped exactly as those before!
