  1. Yes, that is one of the locations and based out of KAEX.
  2. CATanker Services accepting applications for AAR/NVG experienced flight crews. Contact Doug at [email protected] .
  3. The hot section is the same as the T-56-A-9.
  4. As far as I know they were only on the original 12 Australian C-130A's.
  5. All differences between the T56-A-9 and the T56-A-11 engines are internal. The T56-A-11 engine is a T56-A-9 power section which has been modified to operate with kerosene fuel. The T56-A-11 engine uses the same gearbox as the T56-A-7 engine. This gearbox is equipped with a lower gear ratio than the T56-A-9 engine. Externally, there is no difference between the two engines and there accesssoriess. The power section of the T56-A-11 engine is the same as the T56 -A-9 except the -11 uses a dual orifice fuel nozzle, p/n 6813716. These fuel nozzles are of a duplex nature designed with a spray tip with two concentric orifices and two spin chambers. These nozzles replace the T56-A-9 counterpart, p/n 6812991, which is a dual slot type incorporating one spin chamber and one exit orifice. The newer dual orifice nozzle results in greatly improved atomization of the fuel at cold temperatures and low fuel rates. A new fuel control, p/n 6826924 is used instead of the T56-A-9 fuel control p/n 6812563. The reduction gear configuration of the T56-A-11 gearbox is different from the T56-A-9 gearbox. The major difference is the gear ratio. The T56-A-11 gear box provides a 13.54 to 1 ratio which permits a slower propeller speed. Except for the slower speed, the internal changes to the gearbox do not result in any differences in the operating or maintenance instructions. Externally, the T56-A-11 gearbox is the same as the T56-A-9 and all mounting pads and accessories are the same. All performance specifications for the T56-A-9 engine apply to the T56-A-11. The weight of the -11 engine is approximately 100 pounds greater than the -9. The -11 engines had the Aeroproducts Model A6341FN-D1A, 3 bladed propeller.
  6. We have got to start the "Re-elect No-one" campaign and start over. All I can say now is work like hell and hide your money.
  7. Here are three more photos of #12's new project.
