John I\'ll dig through my files if I have a little time today and get you some numbers to look up in the Gallery. Forbes had 2 Squadrons 38 and 47in the 70\'s. 38 had FH on the tails and 47 had FB, later on they all had FB. As was said above we were all in Tacyical Air Command TAC back then. Are you from MA? Bob

John They had E models then. There are pictures of them in the Gallery bob

Any of you ex E Flighters have any goods pics of the E flight airplanes, A\'s or E\'s? Bob

On the Forum Page, go down until you see HB(Herkybird)Groups. At the far right is my post about the 37 TAS, I have to let Casey figure out how to move it under the main title HB Groups Bob

Hi all, I posted a notice down in the unit boards section about the 37 TAS Langley 1966-1975. If you were there, get in touch Thanks Bob PS unit Boards seem to be a good way to stay in touch!!!

Hi All, I had lunch, no not all liquid, with John Simon last week. He, Chris Daniels and Don Asay have been talking about having a 37TAS reunion. Anyone out there? Anyone interested? Bob Daley 37 TAS 1969-1973

Hi Don Hope you get this. I have received a few e mails about the herks stored at March. I have e mailed you and not heard back. Hope all is well. Could you get in touch Bob

I was looking through some pictures sent to me and this came up of Reed and the crew chiefs who put 63-7865 back together after it got its Purple Heart. Bob Rick Ivars i\'ll try to send the originals [img size=800]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/images/3935H.jpg

Hi Lars Olaussopn is getting ready to update his book. If you have any updates for him his address is [email protected] In regards to that there used to be a 33 FLTS Det 2 at Keesler flying/testing the C/WC-130J. Are they still in business? Bob

AFRC Herks gone USNR C130T\'s (3 I think) of VR-64, C-9\'s in VR-52, USMC CH-53\'s of HMH-772, PA ANG A-10\'s. Still there for now. Bob

I heard that the second oldest, by Bureau number, aircraft in the USN/USMC inventory KC130F 147573 is heading from VMGR-152 to AMARC this weekend. It is the last operational KC130F. There are still 5 KC130F\'s involved in testing and 2 NC130F\'s in testing. THe NC\'s were KC\'s and I think they are drone launchers but I am not sure. The oldest aircraft in their inventory is 144670, an NU-1B Otter, at the Test Pilot School at Patuxet. Bob

As I understand it the USCG is using external tanks off 1600 series H models now parked. Bob

Lars Olausson says 6-5586 is now registered 06-1437 and is construction number 5586 Bob

Casey about 1 hour ago 1245 CST Bob

RZ They are in the mail. Last I heard 5,7,8 are Wombats. 1,3,4,6 are in conversion at Robins 2 is still at Boise Bob

Hi Got a little BRAC info this AM. 328 AS Niagra Falls is going to 12 C130 H\'s. It will be an AFRC unit with an ANG Associate unit. (Boy is that pork politics!!) The H\'s will come from 105 AS TN ANG and from Minneapolis(my guess 96AS) The 8 H\'s 92 models are leaving. (To where?) FayetteNam Observer said this AM that half the E models at Pope are gone and the rest are to be gone by summer. There will be 16 H\'s at Pope owned by 95 AS AFRC flown by 95AS and an active duty associate unit 2 AS. The 16 herks are 8 from Milwaukee 95 AS birds nand 8 from Pittsburgh 758 AS. 758 has already received 8 older H\'s from 185 AS OK ANG. Three Questions? Since 53AS is now closed, what happened to their airplanes, did they just move to 62 AS? When 53 AS reopens, are they getting E\'s back? When is 463 AG suppsed to become a wing? Bob

I\'ll move the picture from 555 to 551, thanks, Bob

Casey Thanks for all your hard work. You have done a great job. Bob

No it was never a drone bird. The 7 E model drone carriers were all 61 models. Bob
