Attached is a spreadsheet of an updated list of C-130 related acronyms. The list is not inclusive Allied nations may have different meanings for some of the terms/words listed here When in doubt use plain English For Top Gun Operational Brevity words, BFM terminology, and Military Aviation Acronyms see: http://www.f-16.net/glossary-A.html C-130 Acronym Master file.xls

Does anyone have experience requesting a C-130 flyover for Memorial Day honor veterans events? Who should request it? Who would they contact?

Could say it’s ‘Hog killing weather’ but somehow that doesn’t seem appropriate on the flight line. Most everyone knows the expression ‘it’s colder than a Witches tit’ but think about it… how cold would that be. I’ll stick with ‘the Hawk is out’ at balmy McGuire or places where Herks use wheel-ski landing gear.;)

Tech school at Chanute Ill may be the key to knowing about the term “the Hawk” after all its down stream from the windy city. Today the term Polar Vortex may be more appropriate. In any case, my Air Force issue parka with real rabbit fur face protection kept me above freezing.

Is the term the “Hawk†(strong cold winter wind) still used when maintaining aircraft on the flight line when it is cold outside? Is anything colder than working on a C-130 @ 3AM at McGuire NJ in the winter…I don’t think so.
