  2. Hi Casey Went to look for operators, and found you were a couple short. South African Air Force operates 9 C130B\'s which were recently upgraded to BZ with full glass cockpits. 7 were origionally purchased around 1961 - 1963, and are still in service. Another 2 B\'s and 3 F\'s were obtained from US Navy in mid 90\'s. F\'s had too much corrosion and were never brought into service. http://www.saairforce.co.za/the-airforce/aircraft/22/c-130bbz-hercules SAFAIR is a commercial aviation company and has used C130\'s for many years. They do still operate several L100-30\'s. http://www.safair.co.za/index.php?option=3&id=1&com_id=61&parent_id=48&com_task=1 Then, of course, Saudi Arabia is still operating a mixed bag of C130E/H/H-30 & L100-30 [img size=500]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/images/HZ128.jpg HZ-128
  3. I had one last year doing the same thing. After second (zero time) PLR we started seriously examining the prop, and found the seating area in the barrel nut to be worn. We changed the barrel nut and problem immediately went away. Basically, the barrel nut had been reworked too many times and the seals couldn\'t hold pressure any more. About 6 weeks ago another one refused to lock. On investigation we found the PLR index rings to be badly placed. The real reference mark was almost invisible, and another had been made one tooth away ...... As a rule, I always use 98% rpm as minimum torque reference. First attempt from 850TIT, second attempt from 925TIT, last attempt from take-off/1077TIT. I have had successfull pitchlocks as low as 103.4% rpm on first attempt.
  4. Hi guys I just received this scam e-mail. This is a new twist on the usual garbage from the Nigerians ..... Dear Friend, I am captain James .W. Brian in the US Marine Corps on Monitoring and Peace keeping mission in Baghdad-Iraq. The reason why am explaining my finding to you is to seek for your assistance to enable you contributes immensely to the actualization of my dreams. On the 8th day of January 2007, we were alerted on the presence of some terrorist\'s hideouts in Haifa Street, a long thoroughfare of high-rise buildings built by Saddam Hussein here in Baghdad. After Immediate intervention by the Iraqi forces and ours, we were able to capture many foreign Arab fighters linked to al Qaeda in that operation and over 100 militants were killed on the process. Among the Arab fighters linked to al Qaeda two were interrogated by two of our intelligent investigators and I. They confessed that some of them are fighters for al Qaeda and some are for Ayman al-Zawahiri and they took us to some of their hideout which runs along the west bank of the Tigris River that cuts through the capital. When we invaded into the hideout, we recovered several guns, amour including some boxes among which two contains bullets, one filled with hard drugs (heroine)and the other two to my amazement contain some US Dollars which we assumed amounted to $23.2M after I and two of the intelligent investigators counted them and it took us over 4 hours to get it counted. I however instructed them to keep this in high secrecy so that we can have the money to ourselves, they all agreed to the plan and they replied to me on how I can get this huge sum out of this country and I told them that its no problem. This motivated me to connive with my best friend in our force who went with me and the two other officers to keep the boxes in a safer place. I am now in keen need of a \"Reliable and Trustworthy\" person like you who would receive, secure and protect these boxes containing the US Dollars for me until my assignment elapses here. I assure and promise to give you 10% of this fund, however feel free to negotiate what you wish to have as your percentage in this deal. Please assure me of your keeping this topmost secret to protect my job with the US Monitoring and Peace-Keeping mission. Please do reply via my alternative and private email address: [email protected] My Sincere regards, Capt.Brian.James.
  5. \'Bleed on three\'. This is really great, Casey! Have a great day everyone. PJ
