Not sure when they painted the falling star on the tail, I got there in 82 and they were already painted. Here is 854 around 1985 on a TDY, Travis or McClellan.

Pictures of 87-0128 before and after a "minor" modification around 1990.

IAW the 1C-130(A)U-1... "Approximately 650 turns are required for full extension. A slip clutch is provided in the manual gearbox to prevent the operator from overloading the drive system. Slippage of the clutch indicates the jackscrew nuts are bottomed and the flaps are full up or full down, or that interference will not permit flap operation." Remember movement should only be made in 10% increments.

All you've got to do is ask. I can get you a 4th, 16th, and maybe a 15th, I ain't got no EC connections. Email your address. [email protected]
