They neglect to mention that the MN ANG 133rd AW \"Gophers\" has 8 more C-130 H3s right next door to the 934th AW \"Vikings\", and I believe the two units now share a joint command post. The Bose headsets are lighter and more comfortable than the David Clarks, and the ENC is great. I prefer David Clarks for airdrops as their earcups are sealed which reduces drumming with the ramp & door open. Now if somebody could only come up with a decent \"lip light\" for the Bose...

In a nutshell, if the bottom of the ball nut is not in contact with the bumper stop, the drag pins are not full engaged in the shelf bracket(0.5\" flight, 0.7\" on ground). The tracks and shoes themselves are not enough to keep the gear from splaying outward, which would be \"bad\". Figure 3-12 in your trusty -1 shows how to use both methods to secure the MLG. Section 3 is quite detailed regarding LG malfunctions.

62-1837 was inspected at Pemco in 2004 and no longer restricted. 62-1864, 62-1817, and 62-1786 (other Idaho E models)were never restricted because they had replacement center wing boxes with fairly low EBH. 62-1864 would have been due PDM this year, but 62-1837 had a couple years to go. Both were exceptional flyers and it pains me to see them parked.
