Cleared Visual, I've not talked to Earl for a few years, however, I do know that a lot of business with the C-130 was governmental and not restricted to the US Government. Last time I did talk to him the C-130 was doing everything from mosquito control in florida to contracting out to the UN flying suppiles.
He wanted me to come to work with him a few years ago, but I was flying a Falcon 900EX at the time and didn't want to give my expense account.
I think I'll give him a call this weekend, now that he's famous here at Pprune.
