What units and how many aircraft were modified with AWADS?
LonmieD replied to Herkeng130's topic in C-130 General
I flew as nav on ka/ AWADS out of Pope in 1970s. Loved that plane. Deployed CCK/SEA MAY of 72. Air drop over An Loc in June/July. Landed one night 0/0 visability with ARA. Monsoon rain, orbit 2 hrs, at mim fuel declared an emergency, ground could not paint us, no ILS either. Had to tell the pilot when to flare. An exciting time to have ka band radar and do an ARA for real. Landed about 20 feet rt of center at Ton Son Nut. .
