it was a vulture not a buzzard. I was a 54WRS Dropsonde Operator 71-74. For more go to The Birds of Weather Reconnaissance to find out why the birds were changed...joey

interesting story here of how c/n 4047 a real E mod s/n 64-0552 became the CH-13 H mod for the Belgian AF.

post from C-130 Facebook page where I am a moderator:

" Judi Kidder Hi Everyone. This is a patch I just designed for all of the C-130 Hercules on missions in Haiti. There are no markings except the red crosses as this is meant to represent all hercs from all services worldwide. I am setting this one up so proceeds from the sale go to the red cross relief effort. Please message me if interested to reserve one."
