| Robert Coburn Grand Ledge, MI | Some of the LC130's were R models (newer), as XD-02 was. We also flew "Double Nuts" (XD-00) a "C-130Q" between Christchurch, NZ and "The Ice". I have a pic of that one too. 05/29/2006 @ 09:51 [ref: 13402] |
| Joe Hawkins , CA | Hey, dump the US Air Force serial numbers! These were 100% US Navy LC-130F's, until they were given to the National Science Foundation. They have AF serial numbers since they were purchased from Lockheed under an Air Force contract. The CORRECT "serial numbers" or BUNOS as the US Navy calls them are: 148318, 148319, 148320, and 148321.
