C-130 News: The US Air Force's MC-130 Seaplane is Finally in the Works
Lockheed Martin's C-130J Super Hercules aircraft is not just the workhorse for the military but also a super achiever. In its career that has spanned over two decades, this aircraft has landed in the Arctic, on the highest airstrip, and even an aircraft carrier carrying out medevac, troop, and cargo transport. The US Air Force now plans to make it a seaplane as well, thereby making it possible for this mighty aircraft to land anywhere across the globe. To ensure that the new version of the
C-130 News: Air Force pilots test landing skills on Highway 287 during military exercise
The United States military made history yesterday when it landed a C-130 aircraft on Highway 287 north of Rawlins during a joint training exercise.

Known also as “flying guns,” A10’s are the Air Force’s primary low-altitude close support aircraft. Until yesterday, the Air Force had never landed a C130 on an American highway, although two

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFNS) -- The 302nd Airlift Wing has three C-130 Hercules aircraft flying sorties out of McClellan Air Tanker Base this year in Sacramento County, California, performing an aerial firefighting mission unique within the Air Force Reserve.

C-130 News: 908th Airlift Wing remembers 9/11 with flyover
Remembering the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, provides little cause to celebrate for the vast majority of United States citizens, including members of the Armed Forces. Many face the day with somber reverence to the memory of all the victims and the heroes that sacrificed themselves that day (and for the 20 years since) so that others may live in peace and security. The significance is not lost on the Airmen of the 908th Airlift Wing, who, despite continuing to conduct tactical airlift

BUMPER STICKERS
BUMPER STICKERS: What I really need are minions. Beer: It's not just for breakfast anymore. (Bill Smith, this is for you!!) So you're a feminist. Isn't that cute? I'm an English major: You do the math. I need someone real bad. Are you real bad? Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. The more you complain the longer God makes you live. I R S: We've got what it takes to take what you've got. Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now. Reality is a crutch for people who can't handle drugs. Out of my mind - back in five minutes. Without ME, it's just AWESO. As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools. Life would be easier if I had the source code. Hang up and drive. God must love stupid people. He made SO many of them. I said "no" to drugs, but they didn't listen. Your kid may be an Honor Student, but YOU'RE still an idiot. I fish, therefore I lie. Smile, it's the second best thing you can do with your lips. I took an IQ test and the results were negative. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

Looking Radar Maintenance Staff
Good Afternoon to all who take time to review this. It has been almost 4 years since I started my Claims with the VA. My initial Claims put me at 40% and a bout of prostate cancer with residuals has me at 90%. One Claim for degenerative arthritis in some joints has been pending a BVA Hearing since Feb 2022. It is now scheduled for July. I am preparing a statement to submit and, in the interest of accuracy, am looking for any photographs of the Radar Systems undergoing maintenance. Ideally, the nose radome/wheel well area, the Hell Hole, the ADF area, any under belly panels/antenna sections, etc... The hardest hurdle I will have to overcome is a lack of treatments in my service treatment records as I never reported to sick call for these issues. I found it easier to use ice, heat, and aspirins versus reporting to sick call and risk being placed on light duty and miss out on any deployment opportunities I thank those who posted about the use of Freon 116 used in the KA Band radar system as I am using that information for an updated TERA statement for other Claims involving toxic exposures I have been able to obtain two Buddy Statements attesting to the rigorous nature of maintaining the C130s at Pope AFB to include removing and installing various AWADS components by myself. Certainly hoping this will sway the presiding Judge to grant in my favor Thanks in advance for any help, photos, suggestions, or support anyone has to offer Steve (Andy) Anderson USAF, Retired -

Any design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable and three parts which are still under development. A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works. If mathematically you end up with the incorrect answer, try multiplying by the page number. Any system which depends on human reliability is unreliable. If you can't understand it,
