DC10FE Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Back when I was going to tech school (1963), I was taught TMS -- C-130H = type, model, series. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in WV Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Maybe it will help explaining it a different way. C-130B They have a high pressure gaseous oxygen system and no pylon tanks. C-130E They have a liquid oxygen system and pylon tanks. C-130H They can have many different systems from the first H models but what sets them apart from E models is they were built for a 40,000 hour flying time life span VS a 20,000 hour life span of the E models. To break down DC10FE's post: C= type (cargo 130=model B/E/H/J= series As things change on the C-130, if enough things were changed with the airframe or systems the series identifier is changed to depict it. I hope this helps. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
