130's

Thanks for the comments. A97-212 is now modified. The pylon tanks have been removed and Hose & Drogue pods fitted. She is being used for trialing a new helo aerial refuelling system. Some thought of...

Hi BBadanov. Correct, via Edmonton to check out their setup for SAR work. Modified paradoor, crew seat on small pallet etc. JC was the Skipper and PG the Loadie. Can't recall the rest of the crew,...

Spanning generations

Trojan1981, yes the 'Bou does. So also the C130. I joined the RAAF in February 1958, the same year the C130A came into RAAF service. I operated the A-E&H models. Picked up A97-001 & A97-012 in July &...

500N

Sorry mate, I think you are a bit too young for me to have been involved. By your profile you would have been only 16 years of age when I left the RAAF. Geez, am I that old?

'Bou Culture

Doors Off, firstly I was sorry to read regarding your Dad's passing and I can relate to your feelings as my own father passed away when I was only 27. I also can relate to the sentiments expressed...

Brace Brace Brace

FHLL, your reference to the FENGLOAD on the Caribou is interesting. Some of my best friends were Loadmasters or CrewmanTech and they were an integral part of the operation. Loadmaster airborne and...

B707 crewing

FHLL, very sorry mate, only 3 in the cockpit of the B707, in my time at least. Our Navigator was by Delco INS. Maybe later went to Litton as on the "H".

High experience levels not available?

FHLL, I would have thought that the demise of the C130H, which I presume is currently being flown by a number of highly experienced crew, will release those crew to be posted into other squadrons....

PC9 to Big Jet.

FHLL, I have no idea what the current RAAF situation is, I can only draw on my RAAF experience on the C130 & B707 fleets in regard to the RAAF system. I well recall any number of graduates from 2FTS...

KingAir350

FlareHighLandLong. On what do you base your statement re the KingAir350 that "you would not send someone to fly one without 3000 hours"? Surely you jest. Gundog01, most of the ex Caribou pilots have...

C-27J replacing C130H ???

Gundog01. The only aircraft which can replace the C130H is the C130J. The Spartan certainly could not be considered a replacement for the C130H, two very different aircraft with very different...
