  1. Athens this time if year is fairly warm, and for the A/C system to keep that aircraft cold on the ground will be a full time task for a new A/C - let along a B model. A cargo full of passengers emitting body heat compounds the problem. If you're not sure about pressurization issues, especially at altitude, I would start by pressurizing the A/C on the ground. While the A/C is pressurized, do as Kersey0502 mentions check the heat exchanger. Another way to check the heat exchanger is - you'll get exhaust through the cargo compartment intake. Its been a long time since I worked on a C-130 - but I remember very vividly replacing a cargo heat exchanger (not my favorite task) on the Athens ramp. The heat exchanger I replaced was for pressurization problems, don't remember if low airflow was a complaint.
  2. Following is a partial list, not sure if this is all they had. 59-1537 59-1535 59-1524 59-1528 59-1530 59-1527 59-1533 59-1532 59-1531
  3. Bet them boys will be standing tall on the DO's carpet. With a lot of training and evals.
  4. This body of our government has developed into a real joke. Wonder if any of them ever served in the military - maybe that would explain their thought process.
  5. Thanks, I was also in Germany in the early 70s that must be where I know him from - certainly a fine gentleman.
  6. It has been many years since I worked on a C-130, however, I remember on many occasions replacing the cargo heat exchanger (not my favorite task) for pressurization problems.
  7. Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man Walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff-legged and walking slowly. One student said to his friend: "I'm sure that poor old man has Peltry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that." The other student says: "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome. He walks slowly and his legs are apart, just as we learned in class." Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man. They approached him And one of the students said to him, "We're medical students and couldn't help But notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have. Could you tell us what it is?" The old man said, "I'll tell you, but first you tell me what you two fine medical students think." The first student said, "I think it's Peltry Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." The other student said, "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." So they asked him, "Well, old timer, what do you have?" The old man said, "I thought it was GAS - but I was wrong, too!" __________________

    Old Men

    I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, " What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?" Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. And in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response. "Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."
  10. At no time did I ever think of this comment rude or sarcastic - but rather an attempt at describing a situation when it would be necessary to exceed max bank angle.
  11. Yes, you are 110% correct - most people that was maintenance worked these hours too. One thing about it, them old planes are cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Hell, I remember canning engines several times, I always thought this was one of the most stupid things we ever did.
  12. I'm almost sure they did, I do not remember loading any gaseous. However, its only been about 40 years since I worked on them.
  13. I consider Paul Myers a close friend, he was an exceptional crew chief.
