Doughy Happy New Years Thanks bob

Hi Casey has done a big update to the photo gallery. We are still missing pics of 87 of the 2315+/- Herks built. There is a listing in the gallery section of the ones we are missing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bob

If you want to go to AFSOC you have to first get a divorce, then find a surgeon to suck all your brains out. OOPS!!! I didn\'t mean it!!! Merry Christmas, Bob

The nose went to the South Utah Aviation Museum which went broke and supposedly everything was up for sale. Bob

RC Is that you? Bob

There were 7 DC130E\'s and the one DC-130H The Dc130H was 65-0979. The E\'s were all 61 models, all the E\'s were demoded back to slicks. They all hauled trashed until they were retired. 61-2361 is an Avionics trainer at Sheppard 61-2362 is on Display at Little Rock 61-2363 went to Malaysia as a Load trainer 61-2364 is a firefighter trainer at Goodfellow 61-2368 is a load trainer at Minneapolis 61-2369 is a ground trainer at Dobbins 61-2371 is an Avionics trainer at Sheppard. Bob I attached a pic of 65-0979 setting the world record. [img size=400]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/images/4131World_Record.jpg

I saw this pic of a USAF Laser C130. My guess 65-0979. Anyone know, it looks like it took the place of 55-0022? bob

I received this from Antonio Vilela at OGMA in Alverca Portugal. It is the remains of 5141 Tchad TT-PAF. It ran off the end of the runway and burned at Abeche Tchad landing in a sandstorm in June 2006. The wreckage can still be seen on Google Earth at 13 50\'47N 20 51\'35E 5 Passenger fatalities/ no crew. Bob [img size=600]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/images/5141C.jpg

Hi All, Casey posted in the Downloads section my latest try at keeping up with the current status of all the Herks. I\'d appreciate any corrections. Thanks Bob

Someone else sent me that same picture as 64-14864? Thanks Bob

I am looking for a bunch of HC\'s in the old paint scheme.

Has anyone heard what is going on with the BRAC changes? I read that 164 AS was to close at Mansfield OH (When?/Herks to?) 135 AS was to close at Baltimore, J\'s to LRF (When?) 105 AS was to close at Nashville, now to be a FTU with WC-130H. Where are the Nashville Herks going? Thanks Bob

53AS will close as an AETC Sq in Jan and open as an AMC Sq sometime in the Spring. Already people and aircraft are moving to 62AS. Article attached [file name=NAMAR_Historic_squadron_deactivated.txt size=7130]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/files/NAMAR_Historic_squadron_deactivated.txt[/file]

AWRA group on Yahoo haas a lot of McClellan folks Bob

Any idea when the E\'s are supposed to leave and the H\'s be in place? Thanks bob

Chilean AF Herk 996 was in The Netherlands to pick up equipment for its new F-16\'s. Gerke Hofstra sent this picture of the ramp. I figured it all out but \"ALADOS\", It must be an idiom. Bob [img size=800]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/images/patriotten__01__1.jpg

i\'ll look at mine when I get home. We are in Boston for Thanksgiving Bob

Lars shows it going CCK, Kadena,Yokota, Ramstein Bob

After CCK it went to Martinsburg WV ANG and now is with AR ANG. It has only 29975 Hours on it. Not a lot for a 45 year old airplane. Our paths must have crossed, I flew the last day of the war in 1973 out of U-Tapao. We did a TSN turn that day. Bob PS If you click on downloads you can find a current location list.

7865 went from DYS to PACAF in the 60\'s and recently to Ramstein. I don\'t think it was ever stationed at Elmendorf Bob

Sure I\'d like to see any you can send. Thanks Bob

Sent Bob

Dan Many moons ago there were PCS HC130\'s at Lajes. We were greeted by them one time when we lost 2 engines on the way there. The 57 ARRS was there with Herks from 66 to 72. On the Atlantic side we had 54 ARRS at Goose later Pease 55 ARRS at Bermuda later McCoy 58 ARRS at Wheelus 67 ARRS at Moron later Woodbridge, I think 67 did TDY to Lajes after 57 closed. Bob

Actually going to MC-130W, I sent Casey pictures of all of them, he should post them soon. If you can\'t wait post your address and I\'ll send them to you. Bob

4181 was the parts a/c, don\'t know where it is, Bob
