Robert Podboy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Evidently Lockheed Martin Aeronautics presents milestone pins and certificates for C-130 pilots and crew members who log 1,000; 2,000; 5,000; and 10,000 hours on a C-130. If you’re a current or former C-130 operator and would like to receive an award for your flight hours, you can fill out this form and email/send it to Kelly Shiple, who can also be reached at +1 770-494-9189. Not sure but attached picture may be what the 1000 hour pin looks like. Ooops I searched and this was already posted by Llecrupt Aug 2012 http://www.c-130hercules.net/forums/topic/5415-flying-hour-milestone-pins-contact-at-lockheed/?do=findComment&comment=24705 C130 FHA Request.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railrunner130 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think there's also a 3,500 hr award as well. I'm pretty sure mine is somewhere at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I flew with a Filipino captain at Transafrik who retired from there with over 35.000 Herc hours. Lockheed presented him with a 30.000 hour certificate. Can't remember if her received a pin or not. Probably not. I have the 10,000 hour pin. Don R.
