It is starting to annoy me to see how many of these old fuselages are getting shredded.
If the base shut down, I understand cutting it up but why not build a $2,000 dollar sun shade for it and leave it parked in the corner. Keep the sun and water off of it and it will last for another 30 years. 5 years from now somebody will be looking to fund a fuselage trainer and you just trashed another one.

Since this is a Blind Bat post, It is not inconceivable to infer that he meant that it was a Blind Bat aircraft. However, he did not say it was a Blind Bat aircraft.
True I wondered that afterward as well.
I should he able to find his father's crash just need a general idea of what happened.

Your father survived the crash?
I am looking but only seeing two Blind Bat crashes. On in 68 and one in November of 1969 (56-0533) and all members died.

If anyone is interested, the C-130H registration is TJ-XCF (msn 4747).
Don R.
How do you know it is TJ-XCF?
-
Are these for sale?
I collect stuff like this, I'll buy em for sure
-
Yea I get that lol
The question is what is the difference in weight of pallet position with or without doors. Or is there a difference
-
I'm mainly curious about the difference in weight allowed in position 5 with and without paratroop doors
Does the door limit the pallet weight or does the dual rail system? I can't wrap my brain around why you would build a rail system that created that limit of 8,500 especially on a brand new J.
It seems to me that the paratroop door is the limiting factor hence why they would eliminate them from the L-100 (plus the obvious lack of need on a civilian bird for paratroopers)
-
Hello,
Does anyone have access to the -9 loading manual for an L-100?
Looking for weight limitation of pallet position #5 for an L-100 without paratroop doors
Is it the same as a C-130 with paratroop doors?

Mr hehe, can you explain it elaborately please. I cannot understand duplicate.
Sorry. Have you done engine runs on the ground and done multiple configurations of power levels to get the plane to shake on the ground?
Or have you done a full shakedown of the wiring while someone watches the system?
-
Have you done ground power runs to see if you can duplicate it?

Thanks to all of you, and we will contact Rolls Royce or any MRO facility to get the approval.
Thanks Gentelmen.....
I wish I had a good phone number for a Rolls Royce rep or MRO in your country that could help.
If you can't find someone, you can always call the Lockheed Hercules Help Line at 770-494-9131
They should be able to at least get you in contact with someone or maybe even provide guidance on your engine nacelle swap
Best of luck to you
-
Think what you want Shakespeare. The article is from 2005 which is probably around the time you lost your relevancy on the subject.
Even Js are already getting replacement wings bud.
To the original poster, contact a Rolls Royce facility or MRO. Like I said before, saying something can work verse approving you to do it are not the same thing.

Wow...I wait with baited breath Mr. hehe. Bill
Its bated......but here is an article to keep you entertained in the wait.
To say you could bolt -15s on a -7 equipped aircraft might have been true in 1970s but not now........
-
No one called it 14852, I worked on that plane and deployed with it multiple times, it was just 4852, sure technically its 14852 and I'm sure you'll reference Lars book. Dont bother, I took over Lars work and updated it to 2020. I'm well aware of it. But anyway
The discussion was -15 verse wing. That's why I referenced 4852.
I'll pull engineering drawings and make sense of it when I get the time.

I just did a brief search on the above subject and found the so called "H" model wings ( actually no such thing as an H model wing per se, just a part number) being built and refitted to most all C-130's flying today are the same as the J model wings except for a few odd and end holes and brackets. The center wing box is the big deal on the C-130 as it takes the full load and stresses during flight. Also read an old post from this site where the " E/H" model Spectre gunship noted above C/N 6576 didn't get it's first "H" model center wing till April 1992, 24 years after it got the -15 engines, says the crew chief of 6576. As far as the outer wings go we got the so called 1039 wings (TCTO 1039) for our 81 H models in the 1990's. These were great cause we could change the fuel probes from the top of the wing without going into the tank. Bottom line -7 and -15 will interchange. Bill
I disagree with your statement on wings. There are most definitely differences in center wing boxes. The first T-56-15 and H-model was 64-4852. If you look up the wing box part numbers, 4852 starts a new part number compared to the E right before it.
There many variants of the wing boxes. A Talon 2 does not have the same wing box as a C-130H. Even the early J-models are already getting new wing boxes installed and replaced with the enhanced service life wing that came from the factory in the HC/MC/AC Js and is also now coming on newer production Js.
I dont know the exact differences but I think I have a engine-to-wing configuration excel spreadsheet somewhere on my hard-drive that I'll try to find.
I guess my point is that being able to physically bolt up verse the wing being designed to handle it are two different things completely.
I'll also try to look up the AC-130E/H wing box thing. I was under the impression that they received wing work during that conversion.
-
Ok. So you are looking to install your -15 cores into some spare -7 nacelles.
Not sure what country you are in but you are gonna want to get some engineers or Rolls Royce repair facilities involved.
Saying something will work and giving you approval to do so are two different things.

In 1983 while working at Lockheed we built 9, H models for the U.S. Coast Guard and they were known as C-130 H-7's because the Coast Guard couldn't afford -15 engines, they sent us used GFE -7 engines to be installed. The plan was to upgrade later( which they did ) when money became available. The used -7 were put into new nacelles and hung on the wings and sent on their way. These were prior to the oil cooler augmented engines. Lars book shows first one as C/N 4947. Also while deployed to Germany for Operation Provide Promise in 1993 the engine Queen Bee shop sent a -7 to Split and it was hung on a Maxwell H model aircraft by mistake. ( I described this incident in a post here a few years back) The aircraft engines were ran up and low and behold no 1083 degrees. Engine troops were NOT happy. So unless you are putting an engine with an augmented oil cooler on a -7 wing it will fit. Starter button must be held in as hold in circuit is not there on -15 starter system. Bill
Weren't they able to bolt the -15s up because they had purchased H-model wings?
I need to dig through some files to be sure but I thought you HAD to have a certain wing configuration to have -15s
-
Or are you asking to take the internal engine and move it from one nacelle to another nacelle?
That one would be hard to answer without having all the nacelle drawings and you would be best contacting Rolls Royce or an approved overhaul facility to answer that one.
-
Pretty sure you have to upgrade the wings to do that conversion. Not something you could just do if you had some -15 engines laying around.
Contact the South African Air Force and see what they did.
-
Lockheed has called it the Herk, with a K, or Herky since at Least 1976. There might be earlier references to that name but I know for sure they were publicly calling it Herk in 1976.
-
-
Well this site used to be called Herkybirds.com.......so it's been called that for a while before J's were the major variant.
I'm not a fan of either Herc or Herk personally.
If you want to know the real history of it, I will post some very old Lockheed newspapers that show how the C-130 got its name.

I agree. Think it's a "safe for flight" mirror

Looks like a prison mirror that somebody put there. Definitely not standard on all C-130.
