  1. Yea, they all went to DRMO I believe. I could have gotten one back then as well. That's OK, my box came out good and he loves it. The master power switch has a red switch guard on it, and it has 14 LEDs that light up with toggle and push switches.

     

  2. Are you talking about maintenance? If so, the old system of 9  or so volumes is over with. As a matter of fact, the old -2-X series isn't even supposed to be used. The newer OMMS style manuals have to be used. There is now a: 130J-2-00GV-00-1 GENERAL VEHICLE MANUAL which covers general serving, parking, mooring, etc.

    General System (GS) Manuals. The GS manuals provide detailed system and subsystem description, as well as theory of operation. Separate GS manuals are provided for each system.


    Job Guide (JG) Manuals. The JG manuals provide detailed start-to-finish, step-by-step maintenance procedures. The step-by-step instructions are fully illustrated with facing-page art except for steps that reference other data. Switches, controls, and indicators shown in the illustrations may not be shown in the position required by the text. Each JG manual is divided into tasks that cover a particular maintenance action such as rigging, removal and installation, operational checkout, etc.

    There are some 25 GS manuals and hundreds and hundreds of job guides.

    This is on all tech manuals.

  3. The parts drawing calls the lower light a taxi light. Maybe the upper was used for that? Railrunner, the old antenna was behind that radome, the R/T was behind the lights. I kinda doubt that will happen.

  4. I am an avionics guy, but did work structure issues when my APG guy was a away. 

    "SMP doesn't allow for any damage around fasteners and these are indeed damages." One would have to define "around fasteners" to figure this out. I've never seen skin replaced for this. Those damaged areas almost look blended now. I think damage would be considered oblong holes or cracking around the holes, not a minor indentation that is almost as far away as the hole circumference. 

    Good luck!!  

  5. This reminds me of when they closed Khorat. The C-130 gunships used pretty much the whole runway when they took off, due to the extra load of the crews taking a lot of worldly possessions with them. 

  6. Not that I am aware of. Commodities like seats are about the same as every other little part on the aircraft. Engines, GTC,  and maybe a few other parts have their own records which can tie them to an aircraft. 

  7. Do you have a flux valve simulator? If so, what does it do when connected into the system? Were the new flux valves from a depot repair facility, or did they have serviceable tags on them from a mod team. Years ago, there were many flux valves turned in by mod teams that were not serviceable. 

    Any chance a ferrous screw or nut is installed around the flux valve, like on the connector backshell? Was there maintenance performed around the wing tip area before this started?
