| K Duke , MS | The C-13D series was a modified C-130 A especially equipped with skies for snow landings... they served primarily as support for the DEW line and the associated DYE sites in Greenland... There is much more info at: http://www.firebirds.org/mainmenu.htm

| Nolan Bailey, Sr. Natchitoches, LA | There were five crew members on a C-130D, instead of four. They were the aircraft commander, copilot, navigator, flight engineer, and loadmaster.
