G.L.H.

Does anybody here know current or recent Cost per Flight Hour (CPFH) figures for C-130E? I read a paper from a conference on ageing aircraft that took place in States in 2002 or 2003 in which LMAero's engineers estimated radicale increase of CPFH for USAF's C-130Es up to some 12000 $ in 2006. Is it real or another marketing action supporting "J" model?

Jay seems much more cost-effective - am I wrong?

It was delivery flight, first landing on Polish soil. The weather was horrible, just 2 minutes earlier snow attacked all around...

Thanks a lot. There was relatively strong wind (slightly X..) and snow just before the landing. So probably this is the reason

Tiny,

Our Herks got ANP-241 weather radar. At least such was a plan as the Air Force is not officially releasing any details on technical upgrade of those aircraft

Just a question to Herky's pilots: is it normal that a C-130E with a spare engine and a spare propeller lands in clean configuration (flaps up)?
