mark18mwm Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 this what you looking for? Or this one, but I think this one has INS. not very 1960's http://demiart.ru/forum/image.php?i=forum/uploads3/post-109017-1248994535.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark18mwm Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I do have to admit, they are not my pics. I stole them off the internet. I don't know who took the pics or any details for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbob Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm pretty sure the first pic is not from the 60's era. Know for certain the 2nd one isn't. On the top pic are the lighter colored buttons from INS? While searching I found this one. Nav's station on C-130A 55-0023 Couldn't download the image but here's a link to the photos. http://www.warbirdinformationexchange.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=394235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the top pic are the lighter colored buttons from INS? I think your right, looks like both have INS. I didn't see that in the first one when I put it up. I did see the INS in the second but thought aside from the INS it looked about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbob Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The top pic link is a SCNS modded Herc so definitely not 60's layout. The 2nd one I suspect is a newer H model with the dual INS. For a while the Guard/Reserve were getting new ones delivered(or at least modded later) with the dual INUs. I flew a few "B" models out of AMARC(AMARG now) back around 2000-2002 time frame. But these airframes had been flying up to the mid 80's at least. Not sure how much they changed from "B" models in the 60's. Different compasses(C12 vs N1?) I take that back. The top photo is definitely not an "H". Still unsure as to whether those are INS controls however. I never saw a LORAN display and not sure when that system was removed.

Mt.crewchief Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have a picture of the Nav Station in my gallery of 62-1804. Taken in 1969! It is not the best, but it may be what you are looking for. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyclark Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Not sure exactly what you are looking for, Bob. I still have some old T.O.s but they don't show the whole panel. LORAN was a huge long receiver box and a green glass tube screen display next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdaley Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi Tiny I think what he wants is more a photo of the nav station. showing all the nav gear. He was a Herk nav at Dyess, I think 64 to 69 Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The -1 doesn't really have a good one where the whole panel is shown like the pilot and copilot sides. This is cut and pasted together. I've got no old pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwylie Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Guys, called a young man today, Eric D. Edmond, that is looking for information about his father, Billy Frank Edmond. Billy, and his crew, never returned form a mission on April 10, 1970. Billy was an engineer flying out of Kadena. It was an all volunteer mission. From what I understand, he had been in for 19 years, and he may have been a Chief. I told him that if we could find out what happened that he, his bother and mother would most likely happy, sad and most importantly proud of his accomplishments. I asked that he join this site to receive as much info as we can find. Please help look into this. Pat Wylie. 843-696-9136 cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
