Status: offline 		Thanks Guys!! SAC doesnt exist, I dont play with the bombers anymore, but, I do get to play with the Hercs now! B52g's were the first ever aircraft I worked on, they hold a special place in my heart. There is nothing quite like them. Thanks again!

Status: offline 		Gmenfan,
I was in SAC for two years, Wurtsmith AFB, MI. Then when SAC was folded into ACC, the G models were retired and the base closed down. I could have went to Barkesdale for H models, but chose to go to California and workC-141B's. (Try telling your wife that we are NOT going to California, good luck!) I am now in AFRC working on C-130H's in Youngstown ARS. If I would have chosen Barkesdale, I might have ran into you!

Status: offline 		Hey B-52g or gmenfan, either of you worked on an AC-130?

I think I left something off, it might bee AC-130u,

the Spectre Gunship version of the Herc.

That's a beautiful bird :)

Status: offline 		I was a Barksdale Mar 86-Jun 89, beleive it or not the MC-130E here belong to AFRC but because of the war AFSOC owns them. Yes I've worked AC-130's both the AC-130H & AC-130U sometimes I still do when I'm TDY with them or over in the war zones with them. Being in AFSOC for the past 9 years I've worked on every real airframe within it's inventory except for the salad shooters(Helo's I can't stand them). The U-boat is quite a feet of machineary, it's amazing that it even takes flight, it has 6 different waivers on it weighing too much for the structure, a flying tank is how its best described, it so good the Uncle Sam has decided to build and buy 4 more of them. The thing that still puzzles me though is that the U-boat was perfectly suited for the C-130J model structure, which would have given more power and newer everything but they still went on building it on the C-130H stucture.:confused: :confused: :confused:

Which reminds me...Dubya promised the military more funding...uhm....where is it?
