A C-130 is currently for sale as scrap metal from Ellsworth AFB:

It is described as being recovered from a crash site.
Does anyone know which aircraft this is?

Gents,
Thanks for the answers. It seems 63-7791 lives on.
As mentioned 68-10937 is with Lockheed, who also had/have 61-0951 (l/n May13) and 64-0566 (teardown trials, l/n May12)

On Google Earth there is a C-130 fuselage visible on the north side, parked next to the C-5 mock-up.
Can anyone confirm its identity please? I see that 63-7791 is listed as a trainer at Dobbins, so this could be a candidate I guess.

The Castle Air Museum has N466TM listed on their future projects page:

It was seen at Atwater last month. Does anyone know when it actually arrived please?
Thanks,
Andy
Last I heard, 68-10940 was a ground trainer at Pope.
Apparently it went to Nashville:

although looking at the caption it is on the move again.

Just confirming that 63-7764 did indeed go to Aberdeen Provings Grounds, as per the first post in the thread:
http://www.allcoastaircraftrecovery.com/photo_albums/
68-10948 c/n [cn]4328[cn] went the same way.
My outstanding Es from Little Rock are:
62-1806
62-1851
63-7819
63-7829
plus the three fuselages that were inside:
63-7820
64-0524
68-10949
Any confirm any of these are still around please?
Andy
Good to see that the Chad H-30 is still operational. She was at Lisbon yesterday:

A visitor to Coolidge AZ last month noted that C-130A N133HP, the former 57-0482, is now resident, having arrived from Greybull WY.
Does anyone know when it arrived please?
