C-130s, the amazing HERK!


Recommended Posts

I trained on that roman nose "A"model at basic loadmaster school in March 1975...and flew on that DC-130 at Little Rock years later going to C-130 school. The Herk is truely an amazing airplane and I'm glad to have flown it in my Air Force career. Ron...C-5A/B, C-130E, MC-130 loadmaster.

Ok here are some pics of the herks I fly on (ARK ANG). A couple of sunset and sunrise shots one from inside looking out the left troop door. And 63-7811 on a TDY trip to cold Minot N.D. and 64-0514 starting up to take her to the bone yard to her final resting place, she was a good plane. Hope you enjoy.

Nice AC-130A "Slick" (the AN/ASD-5 Black Crow ignition-tracking system on the side of the nose gives it away)

A couple more of the boys from Little Rock:

Hope they secured their wallets...
