bobdaley Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I was trying to update my list of Herks in Museums or on display. Can anyone help with these questions? I looked on the net at the Hurlburt Museum and a site said that 84-0476 an MC-130H was in the Hurlburt Airpark. Last I heard it was still flying? 65-0994 MC-130P was supposed to go into the Hurlburt Airpark. Has it? 65-0988 HC-130P was supposed to go on display at Moody. Has it? 62-1801 C-130E was reported as going to Fort Campbell. Did it? Thanks for any help. Bob BTW if anyone has pics of these, could you post them?

tinyclark Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 0988 is still sitting on the flightline. They need to find the $10 grand they say it will cost to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 64-0567 c/n 4083 is the MC-130 at the Hurlburt air park. Also an AC-130 parked next to it but I dont recall the number of that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Think they could have glossed that up a bit more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railrunner130 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It drives me nuts when they "preserve" an aircraft like that. For all that's been done, it could be a plastic rendition. They need a proper museum to be stored in along with a proper restoration. Off my soapbox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APG85 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It drives me nuts when they "preserve" an aircraft like that. For all that's been done, it could be a plastic rendition. They need a proper museum to be stored in along with a proper restoration. Off my soapbox... The high gloss was a necessity due to the climate and proximity of the salt water. An accurate, "flat" paint scheme would not hold up well or half as long as the the gloss does. The airpark needs these paint jobs to last as long as possible because periodic repaints are VERY expensive. A compromise had to be made. An indoor museum would be great and the perfect solution but the cost is not something the base can afford... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graywolf88 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Toward the bottom of this Del ANG history page there is a lot of history of the disposition and current locations of the retired aircraft. You may find some of the tail numbers you are looking for there. It lists some that were put on display and some that are being used as static trainers. http://www.militaryheritage.org/DANGTailNos.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 A good page, surprised more units don't do something like that. Nashville had a good page too. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
