GSa has a B model up for auction starting on 3 June. It requires a $25,000 bid deposit. I think that you will need more than one crew chief. Tail No N707NA, 58-0712. It looks like one of the planes that NASA used for research. Auction web address is WWW.gsaauctions.gov

I loved my slip stick, " LOAD ADJUSTER '" TAC allowed us to use it ILO long math & moments. It's been to long ago, but even in TAC, I think we had to use moments on Check Rides.
I still have my C-130A Load Adjuster. The letters on the leather storage case has the words " U. S. PROPERTY " on it. Once in a while I'll get it out and play with it.

I thought that was the NASA C-130 from Ellington Field Texas. I worked for NASA, Johnson Space Center for 28 years in the Transportation Branch. But I was not on flight statis until after the C-130 was gone. I did load planning and supervised the loading of the Super Guppy until we retired it. JSC acquired a newer Guppy with C-130 engines after I retired in 1992. They still have the lastest Guppy but I understand that they don't have any more work for it as all of the oversized loads for the Space Station have been delivered to the Kennedy Space Center.
