That the Areo repair shop Charlie, Boy I bet those guys loved you.

That an all day job. R&R the bushings and Shims rehang the door

then adjust the latches. I worked in the A/R Shop when I entered the

services. That why I say this door had worn an sloppy linkage.

Skip, I see you have got the big picture, That ain`t no bull sh-t

:) Outstanding Sarge, Ill drink one for you later.

It was a FWD Cargo door. I beleave the man that died was FMS Troop,

HYD. Man and another man grabed a chain an was pulled back In.

The frist pic. looks like the Cann. bird at Cam Rahn Bay or

he parked in the wrong naborhood over nite.

2nd Pic, Been there an done a many of times back in the day.

Worn and sloppy linkage, not letting the latches to engage propely.

How old is this acft?

News story said that the SEALS jumped into the ocean in order to meet up w/ the boat so one could assume it was via C-130.

First report it was a C-130 But yesterday the news said it was a C-17.

But who knows I take all of this with a grain of salt.

Looks like 647 with two stars in the window.

Seen pictures of the J Model Yesterday.

The Biggest change for me is the Flight deck

It Pretty for out to me. I don`t Recognize to much

in there. An then it dawned on me I have`nt been in

A C-130 for 35 Years Accept for Air shows an museums.

Saw the city of chattanooga at a air show here
