  1. The C-130A model had pylons, rule of thumb on preflt. for proper distribution was 617( why 617? because that was the capacty) more in outbds. than inbd. On in flt. use the main tank cap. had to be below I believe 5800# before the flow could start. If flow could not be established activate the leading edge de-ice for possible ice in fuel line from the pylon.

    The 3 pylon switches were above the engrs. head. 2 for pump on and 1 for flow.

  2. Drove my 63 Riv. to the Vets home and hospital all makes car show in King Wi Sun. May 17, beautiful day good displays (at least 100 cars) and plenty of brats and music from the Glen Miller era. Good camaradrie nice helpful people.

    Vets on bikes made their thunderous entrance,very impressive.

  3. It was standard ops. for the inverters to be in the -1 config. for eng. start. Failure during start the Engr. could reach up and swich to the bus position and save the start. The operation of this switch was critical and you can go to an electrical schematic to verify this, that improper movement of this switch could induce two sources of 110 voltage to the attitude indicators. I know of an FAA guy that burned the pilots and co-pilots indicators.
