Marietta / Dobbins 2018

Post by eriktex »

Noted with Lockheed on November 5th:

C-130J 2012 (not painted)
C-130J 16-5859 "the rock"
C-130J (16-5)858/CA
C-130J 16-5861 special ops a/c?
C-130J 16-5853 "Dyess"

Any help with the 2012 would be appreciated. I guess it is not US mil?

With the local Army National Guard the following UH-60s were noted:

(95-26)610
(95-26)600
(95-26)601
(95-26)605

And all preserved on the west side, off airfield:

AC-130A 54-1623/FT
C-141B 66-0186
OV-1 12700
F-84F 26476
S-3B 159743/743
A-6E 155648/AF-01
A-4A 139956/AF-500
A-7E 157452/AF-500

On the 700th AS platform were:

C-130H 92-0551
C-130H 93-1036

Also the B-29 was still preserved at the north gate (700 AS).

2012 will be the latest HC-130J for the USCG. If it is unpainted, it might still have the MSN on the nose.

Hi Frank,

I'm afraid that Joe Baugher's C-130 entries for FY16 (apart from one)/FY17/FY18 have not been updated since he first entered them 5 or so years ago. That may have been the original intended sequence of production (block contract spread over a number of years?), but it would appear that events have rather overtaken things and the entries may no longer be trusted for accuracy.

Regards,

Bob

Hi Ken,

Should the (assumed) MC-130 read 65864?

Was there any indication as to 169532 being c/n 5866?

Many thanks and regards,

Bob
