APG85 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'm trying to pull together the history of 0994 c/n [cn]4157[/cn] for the Wing (she's slated to go into the Airpark) and I'm compiling a list of her unit assignments. Her years in ARRS are pretty well documented in the AFTO 95's but the specific years she was in the 17th SOS and the 9th SOS are not clear. Also, does anyone know what year the Fulton Recovery System was removed from the HC-130 fleet (around 1974?). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

bobdaley Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I guess you mean the Airpark at Hurlburt. I can give you approximate dates from Lars' book. But if you want really official dates, I'd request it from AFHRA at Maxwell. If it is for official purposes, they'll get it to you quickly.

Propflux Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm not sure about the removal date. The cargo compartment rail system, winch and Tracker radome were removed when it was assigned to the 17th SOS, the summer of 1990. I have pictures of 992 & 994 when they arrived at 33rd ARRS, Kadena, they are on my computer in the US. I have a R&R coming up in Oct and will look and forward them to you. I think the Crew Chief while it was at Kadena was Ssgt. Jerry George from Oregon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre623 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 We pulled the nose booms off but not the rest of the system on our birds at Hill AFB in 1971. Sure made the flt. deck quieter. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Has 65-0994 gone to the Hurlburt Airpark yet? Has anyone got any pictures for the gallery? Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Mosley Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I was the crew chief on 994 at Kadena 1975 to early 1978. Aircraft was transferred to us from Thailand. at first it was a hangar queen but After awhile turned out to be pretty good.
