Doest his mean the pointer blanks out/disappears? Does the To/From CDI work on the HSI display? We had a problem on a C9 many many years ago, but the specifics are sketchy. Since the FMS800 system didn't need the OBS lines going from the HSI heading set to the VOR, they wired the OBS lines at the VOR into a resistor network. One of the crimps was bad on a resistor. Not sure how yours is set up, since I have no wiring diagram to look at.

Any plumb bob will work, find a hardware store. Gravity's not just a good idea, it's a law.

Hey, it's all Greek to me, I'm an avionics guy. I saw that note in the book, don't quite fully understand it.

Sorry, the 8656 part number doesn't come up with a TO number in ETIMS (tech order index).

Removal and replacement is done per 3H1-18-2. Balancing is also covered in this book. 3H1-18-3 shows overhaul. I'm not sure if this helps. The job guide does refer to the -3. TO 1C-130H-2-61JG-10-1 2-1-3. REMOVE FRONT SPINNER. Mech A,B Remove front spinner (5) as follows: NOTE The hub-mounting bulkhead retaining ring should be inspected per TO 3H1-18-3, Section 4-2 if it does not properly retract. a. Retract hub mounting bulkhead (1) by turning step adjusting screw (4) counterclockwise until snap ring brackets (2,3) butt up against each other. b. Remove front spinner (5). Either HS8641 mechanical puller or rubber mallet may be used to aid removal.

Speaking of nails, if you find some with the heads at the wrong end, don't toss them out. They are for the other side of the house.

Well, 8D1-9-49-4 IPB, and 8D1-9-49-3 Overhaul, is for the 880T100 actuator, that was replaced by the 8656. I can't find a direct cross to the 8586 part number.

Welcome back, brother.

It's broken out in Figure 5 of 3H1-18-4.

The EBH listing shows the MC-130Es with total hours in the low 20k range. Hard to believe. Maybe they reset the total airframe hours when they did the Center Wing Box replacement.

I enjoy watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the food network. Well, I went on the web site and found a list of all the restaurants that were on the show. Attached is the list. I wish I could have done it by state, but it was already a pain just reformatting the copy and paste. Anyway, maybe it will come in handy in your future travels. Tiny P.S. Any weight gain on your part is not my problem. diners, drive-ins and dives.pdf

I have no idea what it is for, but it's coded XB3 "throw away" for DOD. Therefore, there is no tech order. I checked ETIMS to make sure.

I sent this to a friend, and he sent it to his wife, and this was her reply... And ? I didn't get the rest of the joke it was cut off

Have ya ever noticed: If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, then no one should have one. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is, he wants to ban all meat products for everyone. If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good. If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly enjoys his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he loudly demands legislated respect. If a black man or Hispanic is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down. If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal wants any mention of God or religion silenced. If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his. Have ya noticed that in today's world that it is good to be a homosexual but it is bad to be a Republican? Libs don't know pig shit from peanut butter.

At least we have the F-22 and (maybe) the F-35.

Yea, sounds like it was probably the receiver antenna, especially with known good R/Ts from other aircraft installed.

LMAO, welcome back, Dan.

That is VERY scary. I heard I get a letter from the president if I have more than 30 years of service when I retire. Now I am not sure if I will retire in December, and should wait two more years. Well, OK, that is kinda extreme. I could always petition G.W. to sign it...

May they all rest in eternal peace.

For those that don't know about the history of political parties... Here is a condensed version: Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Liberals 2. Conservatives. Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement... Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided. Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons. Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat. Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Thanks for the clarification.

From what I heard last week, they found no internal damage, so it will fly again. They wouldn't get my butt on it, voluntarily.

From Lars' book: Crashed dropping Sheridan tank at Ft Bragg. Load hung up, parachute deployed. I thought this was the one that came down too fast. I think this was it.

Hey, now yer crossing the line.

The Love Story of Ralph And Edna Ralph and Edna were good friends, and also patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.' Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?
