Sonny, I have added the rest of the info from Lars' book. Let me know the date or approximate date was she named and I will add it as well. If you know when she was in the 21 TAS or have additional info on her, let me know and I will add/update as required. --Casey

Bumped to remind everyone to join us in raising a drink to Dan at 7 PM EST today.

I was doing some maintenance on the site tonight and discovered that the LSN permissions were messed up. If you have been unable to access some or all of the issues, please accept my apology. The error should now be resolved. If you have never "thumbed through" the LSN, I suggest you do. Most anyone is sure to find something, if not many things, that interests them. http://www.c-130hercules.net/content.php?r=221-lockheed-service-news

I had the pleasure of working with Dan in the 9th SOS and being on multiple TDYs/Deployments with him. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his job and took every opportunity to teach me and the other young Crew Chiefs. He was a huge influence on me and will always hold a special place in my heart. He was a fantastic engineer, talented instructor and a true American. We will miss him.

Tom, Thanks for the info. The database has been updated. --Casey

The site records show that he has not logged on for over a year. I'll shoot him an e-mail. I hope everything is okay. --Casey

Very cool. I love seeing the stickers put to good use.

It was but unlike the 15 listed above, I don't believe it escaped from TAN SON NHUT in 1975.

There is some good discussion on the evacuation in this thread: http://www.c-130hercules.net/showthread.php?t=4045&page=2 The 15 below escaped from TAN SON NHUT in 1975. I'm not sure which one were were subsequently flown to Guam.

Added

I don't believe any of the 6594th 130s have been loaded. I will put them on the addition list. As for the Little Rock crash, i'm still working on integrating crash/incident data with the data base and the "Today in C-130 History" section.

Done!

Except for a few of the really old Photo of the Week threads, everything is intact. The only changes were a move to a new host and a new domain. Is there something specific you are looking for?

We did some time ago. Glad to have you with us. Casey

Rescue birds have them. I'm not sure if any others do as well.

Made my day!

I haven't been pushing the sell of the prints too hard but I did mail Max a print yesterday. I'll be interested to see what he thinks.
