Swan 38 came to mind. Update: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080826/ap_on_re_as/philippines_plane_missing Yes. When you take care of them.

I loved those. My fave was \"Iraqi photos...Wait for flash\" The couch one is pretty old. But still funny that someone has a couch upholsted in a floral print that can double as camo. Silly woman. The appropriate place for the purse is under the \"bread box\". ;)

NP - I like doing research. And the belly landings remind me of that quote

Belly flops are all the rage. Didn\'t you know? Everyone\'s doing it. When I have a little more time - I\'ll translate and get back to you. EDIT - I have returned The crash happened in Darwin Australia. If the research I have done is correct. That belly flop was the original and the one in Iraq is the copy cat. Because the only infos I could find date back to 2000 DAILY BRIEFING BY OFFICE OF SPOKESMAN FOR SECRETARY-GENERAL 18 FEB 2000

Ah. thanks. And the images look like they were taken... On the tarmac Could you narrow down where the images were taken, by knowing where the aircraft was?

:huh: I do not know the story of the white tail. And the only other c130 with a white tail, that I have seen was featured in the new batman flick.

What is the story of the white tail?

?? Disregarding the information you provided, this was the only image that came to mind. [img size=150]http://www.herkybirds.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10062/normal_3503.jpg

Awesome image. I know it may be cliché , but I hear Flight of the Valkyries looking at that pic. :)

While I have zero experience, I have been guilty of writing a few cryptic squawk tickets, at my job, in the past. :blush: I am inclined to say spar because of the word pillar. But this is a guess. If it were an international, the solution would be to drill a hole into the metal to stop the crack from continuing, and just wait for the recall notice to be sent out.

I was going to say Lockheed\'s own store but they have zilch for artwork. http://www.aviationarthangar.com/c130hercules.html The Air Force had a link on their site to some great B&W sketches available, but \"they\" have dissappeared. To bad this is not the PI. You could have whatever made up in less than a day.

I was working on translating something...it was total operator error. I clicked submit before proofing. I had thought that\'62 would make it an E? I was hesitant to put it down, but the article said... And we all know that everything on the internet is true. :P

I could have sworn this was posted here. ?? http://www.defendamerica.mil/articles/sep2005/a092705wm3.html While I know there have been all female crews for other aircraft, I believe what was special was that this was for an H.

I got this in my email to. But did not post it. It is just one of those things that everyone gets, but no one says anything about. The elephant sitting in the middle of the room. Great images though. Great that there were no injuries. Except for the plane though *sniffle* EDIT - I think it is pretty safe to say that it can be shared with the world. I found the dismantle job posted on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-xxPHStprk

\'You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal.\' saved :laugh:

I included an image of one of the medical beds. That went out with the lockheed newsletter/flyer thing that was sent to me. His handwriting is \"MS 10 Jeddah\" it may not be the right image.

Yes it is Jeddah. The flightline and hangars were being prepped for a royal visit. The date was about 1996.

I had gone to look for an image that I had seen sometime back. I had thought it was here, but it was not. So I figured it was at the Air Force\'s photos \"site\" The Air Force had some extraordinary, high def images of some ..just about every aircraft they use. http://www.af.mil/photos/ And it is not just the main one. It is also the individual air bases \"sites\" that are missing. When did I miss this going off line?

http://herkybirds.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=26&func=view&catid=2&id=1137#1252 I thought that joke was familiar. I was all set to cut, copy and paste back into an email. :laugh:

It is not shopped. It is Saba Airport. http://www.b-v-i.com/SabaAirport/default.htm This is a link to the I think the original source of the image http://blog.ftofani.com/?p=995 - go little otter GO!!

This was tucked away in the back of my father\'s file. At first I was mortified, because I had thought maybe this was my father\'s performance report for someone else. But as I read on I figured it out. V. Comments of reporting official (Be factual and specific. Add any comments which increase the objectivity of the rating) FACTS AND SPECIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS: Sargent Cook has been a good troop. He ain\'t never been in no trobel a toll to me or nobody else in this here mechun. He has a heep of times vollenteered for jobs that was not even his\'n. A few days ago, he was an instument an a big help in fixin a airplane that done broke. A bunch of men was trying to fix it and they coodn\'t get it to do what the pilot sed it was doing. So Sargeant Cook went out and chek the work order and tail number of the airplane, and told them that they was working on the worng one. This is a tipical egsample of Sargeant Cook\'s high degree of teknicle nolledge and trublehunting abilities. Another egsample of his fine deminstration of exallent qualitye, was the incident when one of his men was drunk and gone for three days, he done his work for him. STRENGTHS: Sargeant Cook has reel powerful hand grip. Loads scrap iron on trucks with no difficullties, loaded one (a anvil) that I knoed waid 200 lbs. He also helps unload beer of the truck for the NCO clubs. RECOMMEND IMPROVEMENT AREAS: Sargeant Cook is an awstandin man except when he is drunk. he come in the gait doin bout 70 mles an hour one day and tore down the orderly room. He was fortunary that he didn\'t brake his neck. He is good with a saw an hammar and he ought to have a lettaer of commodation for a owstandin job he done for this owtfit fixing the orderly room back. he is a good noncomshand oacifer. SUGGESTED ASSIGNMENT: Assin him to remote duty. he ain\'t never got along with wirmen. He brawt a woman out a while back, and they got stoned over at the annex and started fightin over who was gonna buy the next round. Anyways her husbin come in then (just back from TDY in VietNam) and he got in the fite two. So Sargeant Cook had then both throwed out of the club for creatin a disturbance. They faut outside for about 30 minits befor the OD and so SP\'s showed up and tride to trow off base. She broke the lutenant\'s arm and run down the street and got away. She also throwed a rock at another SP by the maingait and when the SP tried to arrest her sherun over him with her car. Rite now her base drivin privilage is revoked, her husbin is in jail, and the lutenant and the SP are doin well, and Sargeant Cook is demistratin owtstandin inishyative by vollentarilly fixin the SP shak by the main gait, which was damages prity good one nite when some crazy woman tride to kill the SP inside of it who was callin for help. VI REPORTING OFFICIAL I do not concer with the riter. there is a lot of mispleed words, however, I will sine it rather that take disiplinary axion since this report is overdoo. VII INITIAL INDORISING OFFICIAL Sich rittin is a disgrass to the Air Fors. I think the gentelmain that rote it shude be eliminated from the curvis.

Wow - er..a little late to the party but..this may sound odd if you have not figured out the mystery stripes. In Iron Man there is a c130 similar to that. The stripes are what caught my eye. Could that be a pic of the one used in the movie?

It is better to have and not need it, than need it and not have it. Mmmmm Pink hotdogs. And doughnuts with \"sprinkles\". It was like that when I got here. Pin the blame on the new guy. Only because you misplaced the wrench when you were using it as a prybar. I actually did this on a re-run of 24 last night :laugh: 305 was the number. You should know where they are in relation to the bars. And used a matchbook cover or a zipper to file the nail.

I can only recall a few from memory. I think these have been around forever and a day though. problem- #2 Propeller seeping prop fluid solution- #2 Propeller seepage normal - #1 #3 and #4 propellers lack normal seepage problem- Number three engine missing solution- Engine found on right wing after brief search problem- Evidence of leak on right main landing gear solution-Evidence removed problem- Something loose in cockpit solution- Something tightened in cockpit This one came in an email: Some U.S. F-15 Eagle jet fighter pilots on a cross country flight came across a U.S. C-130 Hercules transport plane on their same heading. Somewhat bored, happy to have some company, and proud of their Eagles, these F-15 jocks engaged the C-130 pilot in conversation, bragging that they had the better job and the better airframe to fly. The C-130 pilot was use to this type of talk from fast moving fighter and attack pilots but insisted that he had the better job. \"Oh, yeah? Watch this!,\" one F-15 pilot said. And the C-130 pilot watched the F-15s surge ahead of him, lite their afterburners, soar, go inverted, fly around him, surge ahead again, come back, and just really show off the Eagle\'s superior speed and maneuverability. \"Impressed, huh?,\" one of the F-15 pilots asked. \"No, not really,\" the C-130 pilot said. \"Watch real closely and I\'ll show you what I can do and why my job is better than yours.\" So, these F-15 pilots watched the C-130 . . . and watched, and watched, and watched, . . . and watched some more, for about ten minutes. But, they did not see anything different about the C-130. No change in heading. No banking. No change in speed. The C-130 just continued to drone on, level, on the same heading. \"Excuse me, Mr. C-130 pilot, but we\'ve been watching you now for about ten minutes, and you haven\'t shown us anything new. What\'s up? When are you going to show us what you can do?\" \"I just did.,\" was the C-130\'s pilot\'s reply. \"You did? Come on. Stop BSing. We\'ve got to break off soon. We were all watching you carefully and none of us saw you do a darn thing. What did you do, if anything?\" The C-130 pilot said, \"I put it on autopilot and went to the bathroom.\"

Warm wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving wherever in the world you may be.
