The Black Label was the worst, especially the ones that sat on a pallet in the sun at CRB for 2 months. Bob

Thanks Bob

I can't think of an A model that would end 0647? Bob

One more MC-130E question! Is the 711 SOS going to lose its MC-130E's and become an associate Sq? Thanks Bob

Just curious, I saw an article about the first J for Ramstein. It said that Ramstein will receive 14 J models over the next 12 months. Then Lockheed is going to start deliveries to Dyess. There have been recent stories about the H models at Dyess getting new wings. 3 or 4 have already been replaced. What are they going to do with the H's? It seems like they would replace the E's at LRF before they replaced the H's at Dyess with new wings? Maybe they are sending the H's to LRF? Bob

Dave has some severe vision problems and probably is not able to visit the site, Bob

I googled it yesterday and found that it was part of the global war on terror and part of the Air National Guard budget but that was all I found. Bob

the above article talks about Shadow Harvest? What is that about? Bob

Hi Skip The generals hat was all mine. Shannon did not go to CCK with us. John Simon sees Shannon occasionally, I think he is still in Philly. Germany now that was another story!!! Bob

Skip That was close, too bad we never got to go on a rote together. Bob

I read today that the 189 AS at Boise closed. They delivered their 2 C130H's 91-1651 and 52 to the 180AS MO ANG. No mention of the 4 MC-130E? Stored at Boise? Back to Storage at March? Back to 711SOS? Bob I got an answer, Flyable storage at Boise!! Bob

The plane pictured is an A model. There ios no other A model with the numbers 460. It is 57-0460 Lockheed number 3167 I attached a picture of it in the Museum at Dulles. Look in the Gallery under 3167 for more pictures. It started out its career in Europe at Evreaux in 1958 and stayed there until we got kicked out of France in 1967. It came back to Lockbourne AFB now called Rickenbacker ANGB in Ohio. It went to the AFRES at Richards Gebaur AFB MO in 1971. It was sent to the SVAF as part of Project Enhance Plus in Nov 1972. It was flown by the SVAF 435 Sqn with the tail letters HCF repatriated in 1975. Then to the 704 TAS AFRES at Ellington AFRB in 1976 it went to the 63 TAS AFRES at Selfridge AFB. Later to the 95 TAS AFRES at Milwaukee and to Air and Space Museum in 1989. Bob

There are lots of H designators but quickly H early H models; H2, H2.5, H3 primarily have to do with the cockpit night vision capabilities. H-7 was assigned to USCG H's that kept the old -7 engines off the B models instead of new -15's. There are no more -7's as the USCG replaced all the -7 engines with -15's and they are now all H's. Bob

When I was at CCK in 72-73 we had 6 squadrons 4 PCS with 16 E's each and there were 4 PCS E model squadrons there. I remember flying with Reed Mulkey then when he was in maintenance and he said they had almost 100 E's between the TDY and PCS aircraft. Bob

Ernie I am envious Bob

How about the Bell Inn , The Bull Inn, and the Volunteer Arms Pub, and the fish and chips place in Moldyhole? Bob

Any idea which one? Bob

In Pieces at ABQ Bob

321 is sitting iiin AMARC, the boneyard in Tucson Bob

Sure, I did not take the picture It was sent to me. Lots of A model pictures in the Gallery Bob

Another Mystery picture I had was of a Blind Bat C-130A. It was named Saphire, and the Crew Chief appears to be SSGT J Green, and the Asst was J Williams. Any Help? Thanks Bob

Which ones did you tear down? Bob

Dutch Thanks Bob

I got a picture of a C130 wreck at I think Camp Halloway near Pleiku. A long time ago I heard it crashed at Pleiku and some Viet Namese were living in it at Halloway. I have never been able to confirm it but there were only 2 Herks, that I know of, lost near Pleiku. 61-0953 lost landing short March 66, and 61-0972 shot down east of Pleiku January 66. My guess is it would be 953, anyone know for sure? Thanks Bob

Did you check out the Gallery? Bob
