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)

Andy

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.

Andy

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

Bob,

It arrived on 29Oct14.

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.

Thanks Bob,

http://www.allcoastaircraftrecovery.com/photo_albums/

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?

213/MAJ came through the UK last weekend on delivery.

Andy

Yes, N133HP took off from Greybull the morning of March 1st and arrived in Coolidge that afternoon.

Thanks for the answer.

Andy

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?

Thanks Bob,

Can someone please confirm which C-130 fuselage is currently sitting over in the Medical Training compound over by the civil terminal?

C-130A 53-3131 was there for a long time, but 58-0727 joined it in April 2005.

Are both still there, or has one moved on?

Thanks,

Andy Marden

In January 1987, she was retired and sent to AMARC at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ. She went on to become an aerial tanker bomber registered as N137FF flying for Hemet Valley Flying Service. She was scrapped in 2000.

Hemet Valley Flying Services is one company rumored to have close ties to the CIA according to numerous sources and official documents, and was at the center of the now infamous U.S. Forestry Service Tanker Scandal. It is possible that 56-0484 went on to serve with the CIA after her military retirement? , . , , , ,

This aircraft wasn't scrapped in 2000. She went to the Allied Aircraft Sales yard adjoining AMARC. Last note I have of her is Jan07, she may well still be there.
