Anyone know which models and serial numbers and who received 5754 and 5762
Thanks
Bob
Also are either of both of the Israeli Herks 5723 and 5742 KC's?

Just found the answer to one question 12-5762 is an MC-130J at 17 SOS

If I counted correctly, there are 12 AETC J's and 24 AMC J's at Little Rock.

Used to be 6 Active Duty Sqdns there. Which Sqdns do what now at LRF?

I heard the 50th was like an associate sqdn with the ANG?

Thanks

Bob

Years ago I was told that the stick shaker was only put in to satisfy the FAA certification requirements.

Since the J was certified by the FAA before the USAF and almost all FAA certified aircraft have stick shakers.

Bob

Any questions or updates please let me know.

Bob

The first 2 to transfer to USFS are 1708 5002 and 1721 1721.

I heard that 1708 was first but the picture looks like 1721 which had a unique paint job.

Anyone know for sure?

Bob

Anyone know the N Number for this Herk. I think it is 5002 ex 1708

Thanks

Bob

I hope someone can get eyes on it and tell us the tail number.

Thanks

Bob

In SEA we used to put straps over bare pallets and cramming that many people in was common.

Bob

I went over the original list some notes on a few of them in yellow

The Air Contractors European Oil spill contract was taken over by a C-130A from IAR

National no longer operates Herks. As Don said they were wet leased from Transafrik

The ones that say Saudia are operated by Saudi Arabian Airlines.

Bob

That was a tricky airfield to fly into. Bad depth perception. I flew an Army 2 star in there one day and really planted it.

Bob

The third is USCG 1717 5104 they got it a few months ago and it is based at Wallops Island VA

Bob

That is correct 4604 1665, 4640 1675, 4643 1677, 4681 1689. Bob

Don

Looks like the third one is Fritz's N466TM, visiting from Castle.

But I think you are looking at Visalia Muni.

The one they are restoring is 56-0473 and that is at Visalia Sequia Airport Northeast of the Muni

Bob

The last unit to fly it was 95 AS now at Pope AAF NC.

Bob

How was your trip?

Bob

Anyone near Cheyenne who can confirm it for us?.

It is easy to see at 41 09 43.93N 104 49 01.32W

Thanks Bob

I just got this e mail about a herk being made into a simulator at Cheyenne.

Anyone know which one?

Thanks

Bob

On the ramp at Cheyenne is a C-130 fuselage which is to be used to create a C-130 simulator at Cheyenne:-

The a/c is apparently ex Tennessee ANG and arrived by road on or around 19.8.13:-

Which one?

Did you find it? Bob

it is on my desktop but I can't add it to the website.

You can find it at this URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKXCZAlN-YY

Hope that works

Bob

I still can't figure out how to add a picture

Bob

I eventually found the utube site. While I was looking for it I found another site with this picture on it.

My old unit 706TAS at New Orleans sent 2 A's to the SVAF under Project Enhance Plus in 1972, 55-0001 and 002.

Neither of them came back. 55-0002 may have crashed and burned at Bien Hoa in 1975.

I had always heard that 55-0027 was SVAF GZA, This picture makes it look like 55-0002 was GZA.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks

Bob

For traffic Avoidance, So other aircraft can see you.
