tinwhistle Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Some time ago there was a discussion in this forum concerning the ABCCC birds in Vietnam. Even though I actually assisted in loading the module, both at CCK and at Danang I was told that I was mistaken, that the modules were loaded and hooked up in the States. Just the other day I stumbled upon some old pictures, and low and behold, there is a pic of the ABCCC mod being loaded. And it ain't at Hickam or anywhere else in the U.S. If I'm not mistaken, it's at Danang. I'll see if I can upload the pic to this post. If not it can be viewed in "My Gallery".

DC10FE Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Well, Chris, you just had to get a silver C-130 in the pic, didn't ya. Probably has a TAC patch on the tail, too. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was at CCK I worked in the reventments performing phase inspections on the ABCCC's in 68/69. They came from Vietnam or Thighland, I forget which and they never had the capsule in them when we got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinwhistle Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 I may not remember much about those days, but I distinctly remember (whenever the rare camo painted Herk showed up) thinking that it was just plain UGLY! I do over look Giz's affinity to the camouflaged Herk 'cause he was young and impressionable and had not served in a squadron of silver birds. Nothing like a flight line of silver!!!!!

Dutch Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) But do you remember when the A Models had Parts of the tail and wings panted Magenta? I am all most 75 and it is amazing how much I have forgotten. Edited October 4, 2014 by Dutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
