aircommando130 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Nice...It's from the 463rd TAW at Dyess AFB,Tx. If it's from 1974 then it's probably an E model. Dyess was the first wing to get the H model and they were all 1974 tail numbers so they were still awhile to delivery. I always thought the South East Asia paint looked good on the herk.

When Forbes AFB closed, I had a chance to follow the C-130s to either Dyess or Little Rock, but no, I decided after just six months that I'd had enough of Camloc fasteners, doppler radome nutplates and prop spinner fiber glass repairs. Those of us who didn't go to Dyess or Little Rock were told we were going to HOmestead AFB, Florida. We all went to HOlloman AFB, New Mexico. South, yes - similar, no!

Nice...had a similar deal happen to me. I had a C-130 assignment to Elmendorf AFB, AK...I was a C-5 loadmaster at Travis at the time. I send my stuff to Alaska and come here to Albuquerque on leave on my way to Little Rock to Herk school. While on leave here my 1st Sgt calls and says my assignment to Elmendorf has been cancelled and to come back to Travis. While here I'd bought a 4WD truck...so I go back to Travis and about a month later got an assignment to Altus AFB,OK to the C-5 school. Finally got my herk assignment several years later to Kadena and the MC-130. I do believe the field elevation at HOlloman is 10 feet from hell. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F106A Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Been digging through my pics tonight, and found this one I took in Haiti during the height of the initial relief efforts. January 19th, 2010 to be specific. I like this one as I was able to catch the props in motion. I used my newly acquired C a n o n EOS T1i, but really didn't know what I was doing! I'm reminded of that old Lee Trevino commercial when he was selling golf balls. Something to the effect that if you want to be a good shot, you have to hit a lot of golf balls. (I think I remember he said "Hit 3,000 balls a day...") I guess the same is true is about photography. Take a whole lot of shots! Of course, if you are taking them all wrong, the number doesn't matter. You better learn what you are doing! Then again I have to consider the "blind squirrel" rule. You remember that one. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile? In any event, please enjoy! Mark Edited January 29, 2011 by F106A Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gary1701 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Gents, A couple of C-130 movements at Mildenhall over the Easter weekend. Turkish C-130 marked for the Turkish Stars team arriving on saturday morning, and a Davis-Monthan EC-130 departing for home that afternoon. Nearly forgot, a Mildenhall SOG aircraft landing one evening during the week. Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
