WRALC used to have this on their site many moons ago. It is out of date, but proved very valuable sometimes. It just contains numbers and titles of the TCTOs, but with the ability to find specific words or numbers, it's pretty good.

Rescinded TCTOs.xls

I doubt this was an aircraft TCTO. Since it's part of the QEC, it probably would have been issued as a TO supplement, and I don't remember what the QEC T.O. is, but it would have been issued as say, 19C1-56-2-201. The 201 being the important part. Again the first part of the number I made up.

Found my list of TOs. 16W14-12-2(3)-???

I didn't see anything on my list of rescinded TCTOs. Mike Bischoff may know, he is at Cannon AFB.

Sorry, I was looking for something older than 1984, and dealing with the QEC. 1146 was titled "Inspection of Aft Engine Mount Beam P/N 363803-1, Aft Engine Mount Beam Support P/N 363801-1, and Upper Longerons P/N 362502 for Cracks, C-130B & subsequent aircraft" Hopefully, that is what you are looking for. Whatta want from an avionics guy???

I'm good, settling down in Nampa, ID, just put 10 gallons of Black IPA in the fermenter. Hey, I do remember the Howdy thing as well.

I am confused about who is who as well. Any radio on the aircraft will be heard on the interphone, so that is pretty much out. To answer the question about two antennas, one for transmitting, one for receiving, no it doesn't work that way. If a UHF or VHF antenna blade was broken off, it would still receive pretty well, but transmitting wouldn't go very far. That being said, antenna connectors are reachable on the ceiling of the aircraft.

To keep from getting shot down, a white t-shirt secured inside with a web seat strap and stuffed out the ramp valve would show distress.

I would have liked to see Payton win it, but I'm happy for Seattle. I just wished it was a good game.

Yes, Bob, I've been in Idaho since the 11the of November, bought a house in Nampa.

Ronc, I fully understand. I sent him a little further explanation of the controls. It does tie into the moving map displays and nav computer. I was just trying to say that it wasn't a simple cursor control.

That thing is more complicated than just a simple cursor control. There are also two buttons under the handle.

And yes, there is a detent on the flap control at 50%. The flap control uses cables, and there are several microswitches in the flap quadrant feeding other systems information, like TCAS & GPWS, among other things.

Very cool video, and they spelled the Herk part wrong.

Those pins are used a lot of different aircraft. It could be a nose gear pin. They are also used for safety devices on weapon systems, even chaff/flare safeties. Both part numbers are standard stuff that most units have on bench stock.

I'm in Bountiful, UT at my mom's right now. The trip was pretty damn good so far. Another 350 miles to go on Saturday. I enlisted in the USAF to get out of Mt Home. We will be on the west side of Boise, though.

Sold the house in Valdosta, GA (Moody AFB), moving out to Idaho, near Nampa. On the road with the 5th wheel.

I looked at all my info and couldn't find it. Where are you located? The T.O. for the HD186 is 9P3-2-4-23. We had gallon sized cans of it on bench stock. My contact here at the base is out for a week as the hunting season is here.

I worked avionics for over 35 years, some of that time helping out spark chasers with electrical issues. I'm not sure what you want to know. You'll probably be busy. Anything from changing out light socket to replacing an A/C pack.

I was at Rhein Main for 4 years, and Ramstein for 6. Prosit! There is no Mosel or Rhine River Valley in New Mexico.

I have seen many problems caused by corrosion in the outer wing disconnect panel. there was a depot level TCTO to replace all connectors at that junction. I came up with a diagram showing all wiring functions at the connectors. This was all good several years ago, but things change. You might check all connectors for corrosion.

Thanks for sharing, this may come in handy one day for some other people.

None that I know of, Rifle. I've never been on an AC-130U, but did work on H models. Given Special Ops has more money for mods, it is hard to say what the U model has in the cockpit. I'd like to see one.

T1 Blue

T2 Red

T3 Brown

E2 White

This is what is shown in the wiring diagram.

Blue & Brown are the engine overheat lights/bottom of T handle.

Red & White are turbine overheat lights, top of handle.

Replacement of the diverter strips on the new radomes is outlined in the 1C-130A-3, section 53-20-00, paragraph R.

Blueprints like you are thinking of don't exist. C-130 parts drawings do not show contour, for the most part. There are simple dimesional drawing in the maintenance books, but I doubt they would help you much. All C-130 models are the same as far as shape and dimensions, except for the stretch versions, and of course add-on like sensors

Yup, I concur with jbob, #2 is removed.

They just don't understand that you can't fix stupid, no matter what you do.

Image getting up the next day, knowing that's the best you are going to feel.

Thoughts and prayers coming your way. I wish the best outcome for you all.
