hehe

Just look up all the models of C-130's

Pretty much anything you want to do, has already been done

wings have carried fuel tanks, refueling pods, missile/bomb racks, drones, radars, jamming pods, etc etc etc

Yea not sure, I know the current FT and pope's FT was flying tigers but I couldn't find anything that linked the AC-130's at Uban Royal Thai Air Base with tail code FT to the flying tigers.  Need to do some more digging 

  http://www.c-130hercules.net/gallery/category/6-3001-3099/?page=22

Anyone from the paint team know what the FT stood for back then?

What does the "FT" on the tail represent?

What base/unit/squadron/city/etc?

yea i don't want to pay for a converter without knowing it works

i'll have to do some research

4.99

I bought a 10 dollar itunes card and got some other things while i was in there.

Well now I just have it on Itunes, gotta figure out a way to get it into mp4 format and i'll just upload it to website

what a pain in the butt

I did this:

go to http://www.pcgamesupply.com and buy a CANADIAN itunes gift card (they email you the redeem code instantly)

Then go through the headache that is ITUNES and download from the canadian itunes store

Still looking for one

Looking for lar's book if anyone has one for sale

I never saw one of the support stands. They are for holding up the rear of the plane if you remove more than two engines (maybe more than one at a time, it's been a while). We asked the Lockheed tech rep we had when the unit first got Herks. He explained the stand and it's use but he said no one used them as far as he knew. We used pet rocks when more than two engines were removed.

There is one in the CTK at moody, if I remember I will take a picture. Its never used though, I've asked "stump the chump" questions when any crew chief that was around and none of them had a clue. Both planes on our ramp that have engines removed have pet rocks. The reason they don't get used anymore is simple:

if the acft rests on the stand, you have to get the acft off the stand to get your stand back (imagine pulling the wooden milkstool out from under the ramp without being able to raise the ramp) resorts to being creative such as pumping up the main struts or depleting the nose strut. or packing a whole workcenter in the flight deck lol

anyone know what these humps on the top are/used to be?

I've been told they were an "avionics something", just curious what they were and why they were removed

any other info you know would be awesome, I'm always interested to learn new c-130 stuff
