C130A aircon
alisoncc. Thanks for the "plug" for my old Squadron and your good wishes. Likewise, all the best to you. Wiley there are some advantages in not having under-floor heating on the C130A. Anywhere aft of the ramp hinge was pretty cold-soaked after a few hours in the cruise and the design of the rear cargo door provided a great place to keep a carton cold and any frozen barramundi or prawns etc from thawing. And at 124200 lbs MTOW the "A" was a GO machine. Paxing was not the most pleasant experience however, and neither was having to sleep down the back on overnight turn-arounds on such tasks as evacuating Darwin after Cyclone Tracy.
