Yup, 6 \'85 models and one \'89.

One of them might be AMP\'d.

South Africa is paying 830 Million Euro for 8 aircraft. That\'s 100 million a piece, which converts to about $180 million for us. Hmmm, that\'s a J-model and a couple C27 Spartans thrown in.

Anyone know what guns they are putting on the C27 Gunship, BTW?

Oh if it were that easy TOPS. The heading reference comes from the compass and goes thru the ECA, antenna J-Box, antenna, RADAR J-box, Control panel for the Nav\'s, power supply, then the scope. Any one of the X,Y or Z wires opening alond the way will cause the sweep to freeze. [img size=1383]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/images/radar_hdg_reference_loop.JPG

There are two different ones.

D40801, 5935-01-165-0668

D40598, 5935-01-165-0667

And they send a resistance change to the Flight Data Aquisition Unit, which interprets and sends that info to the DFDR as digital data.

What about the Miller that smelled like skunk you-know-what when you opened it with a church key!!!! But, you could go downtown Nha Trang and get cold Bud for 100P.

Miller still smells like that!!

Thanks for all the replies. That Aux pump running off the MAIN while it is up sounds like a capitol idea. The TCTO shows 120 manhours, but it also shows 20 of that for hydraulics op chks. Seems like it may have been padded a bit.

The TCTO also ran 4 gauge wire back to FS795, right near the pump, and put a terminal board there. Very smart, I wonder if this was thought about for AMP.

I have some suggestion, but you\'ll still have to duplicate it on the ground to fix it.

One of the things you need to ascertain is if the antenna quits turning, or if it is just the display not moving. If the antenna is turning, the sweep trace will flash brighter when the heading marker switch hits. They can chech that while they are flying.

If the antenna is rotating, then they need to check it on the Nav and pilot displays, in REL and STAB modes.

Are you at the \'Rock?

I\'ll send you something that may help if it is an indication problem. I\'ll also send some other diagrams I have done up for the system to aid in other problems.

I know they were supposed to fire just before touchdown, but maybe they should have had them fired off using the weight on wheels switch.

This was before CARA, and the APN150 Radar Altimeter was a piece of, well, let\'s just say it wasn\'t Shinola.

Of course, that\'s if they were using any instrument reading to light them off.

Just curious if anyone has ever really experienced loss of Ess AC. I\'m just killing a cat here...

All of this noisy motor talk reminds me of the ARN14 VOR Dynamotors back by the receivers on the right hand side of the ramp. There were two azimuth indicators back there too.

I found an old TCTO from 1967, INSPECTION OF C-130 UPPER CENTER WING AREAS FOR CRACKS. [img size=754]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/images/wing_crack_insp.JPG

By the way, it\'s not a cockpit with an all female crew, that would be called the box office.

Apologies up front, I just couldn\'t help it.

I show Mil L 7808 as a syntehtic based oil.

LUBRICATING OIL, AIRCRAFT TURBINE ENGINE, SYNTHETIC BASE

4.4.3 Compatibility. The compatibility test shall be performed in accordance with FED-STD-791, Method 3403.

The lubricating oil shall be mixable with selected referee lubricating oils qualified under this specification, MIL-C-8188, and MIL-PRF-23699, without turbidity.

The USAF Job Guide only shows both oils for the APU. The GTC, ATM and motor only show Mil-L-23699 as supplies required.

You forgot, \"Hey Y\'all, watch this!\"

This picture I have now is at the old Bitburg Brewery Restaurant.

We called the SST181 Beacon antenna a donkey dick, same as on the F4 and A7.

No problem, I had more but can\'t find them. We shot one higher into the hell hole, and you could see the tires where the floor was.

The HF radios had the control cables jambed into the flight deck floor. You can\'t see them very well in the picture, but they probably couldn\'t have moved them very much, if they even had time to try.

After they put the nose on the trailer, they used ice chocks on one main to make any significant turns on the way to the hangar.

Here\'s one more from inside the NLG area. [img size=1024]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/images/PIC00009.JPG

You would think the wings would have been easy enough to get off and save.

Yep, 1660, I still have pictures of it. Mike Bischoff did alot of research in the drawings to help get the parts needed to fix it, and I helped where I could, but I\'m just a pointy head. [img size=1024]http://herkybirds.com/images/fbfiles/images/moving_day10.jpg

Here\'s the blow up of the area on the left.

Here\'s something I came up with to explain it to supervision(s).

We just has a quadrant replaced here for one lever creeping.

Well, it didn\'t really come out readable. I can e-mail it if anyone wants it.

I\'ve only actually seen it on our manuals, like the 1C-130(H)H-2-11.

I can\'t find anything that specifiaclly says so, but maybe since all manuals start with the 1C-130, the decided to move the H part of the HC-130 models after the number.

This book covers:

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS AND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

USAF SERIES

C-130E, EC-130H, HC-130H, HC-130N, HC-130P,

MC-130P, NC-130H, AND WC-130H

Ahh, the advantage of charcoal and wood,

Set a big fire

Don\'t have to worry about gas bottles

Tastes soooooooooo much better.
