MHeflin Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 If memory serves, back in the 70s HC-130Ns 5820, 5823, and 5826 were assigned to the 67th ARRS, RAF Woodbridge, along with HC-130Hs 976? (plus one other, 970 I think?) and 2 HC-130Ps (HC H-models converted to AR-birds, 220, plus one other that I can't recall) The N's were awesome, all shiny an new. Had the roller bar for paratroop retrieval. The Ns and Hs were gloss grey color, with the yellow chicken stripes around the aft end fuselage and wings, but the P models sported SE Asia camo. Spent a lot of time @ 50N 30W orbiting for fighters heading back and forth on Reforger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAGOW Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know what the new designation is? It used to be a USMC KC-130R. Is it a C-130H now?Don R.The Chilean government officially stated they purchase two C-130H, so I believe that should be the new designation.I know PDM takes about 150 days and the bird came from AMARG. Would the changeof the designation add the extra 150 days at Hill AFB or something else was done? Edited April 24, 2015 by LAGOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamMcGowan Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 We went to AMARC a year ago when the TCTAA was there for our members meeting. Here are some C-130 pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimH Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Looks like a lot of F-16s and S3s -- don't see C-130s except waaaaay in the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamMcGowan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Looks like a lot of F-16s and S3s -- don't see C-130s except waaaaay in the back!There were quite a few Herks there last October, mostly from Little Rock. One road goes right by them but I was on the wrong side of the bus to get a decent shot up close. The only way to get in there is on a tour bus. They are being used mostly for parts according to what we were told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamMcGowan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 233 there on 14 Oct.BobThere were oodles of them there a year ago. They're parked behind other types but there are several rows of them and are a number of columns across. There are also a bunch of C-5s.
