Andy Marden Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 On Google Earth there is a C-130 fuselage visible on the north side, parked next to the C-5 mock-up. Can anyone confirm its identity please? I see that 63-7791 is listed as a trainer at Dobbins, so this could be a candidate I guess.

Spectre623 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Yep, 791 is the load trainer at the aerial port school at Dobbins. Had another FUT trainer there for loadmaster training, tail number 61-2369. They both flew in and stayed to long so we cut the wings and stabs off and turned them into trainers. 369 was moved to Pope Field when we got out of the FTU business.

Spectre623 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 They must have gotten 937 after I retired in 2003 Bob. Is it still there? Was it a load trainer or a FUT for the loadie going thru training? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Bill It is over at Lockheed. They used it for center wing box tests. I think it is still there. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre623 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think I know which one you are talking about Bob, I see it as I pass the old IRAN/SLEP hangers on South Cobb Dr. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre623 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Did a google earth and the one next to the old no wings J mockup appeared on the 12-2010 photo. I think that is the wing box bird that still has the wings in the photo. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Marden Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Gents, Thanks for the answers. It seems 63-7791 lives on. As mentioned 68-10937 is with Lockheed, who also had/have 61-0951 (l/n May13) and 64-0566 (teardown trials, l/n May12) Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
