CAR C-130 (post # 65 above)

reply to cthornburg ;

hello Chris,

thanks for the excellent pic , probably of the (only ?) one reg TL-KNK , as you can see it in
Small AF thread # 13 p 22 …)

BUT I don’t think it was a military one ….!

till now, the only ‘military ‘photo’ is this one ;
http://xairforces.net/galleryd.asp?id=56&galleryid=487 (already published before )

BUT as some colleagues told me earlier, it’s a fake /PS one …
just compare it with the original view :
http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?aircraftsearch=&airlinesearch=&placesearch=&countrysearch=&adv_remark=&photographersearch=&regsearch=&cnsearch=&codesearch=&datesearch=&id=1444709&yearsearch=&specialsearch=&specialsearch2=&sort_order=photo_id+desc&page_limit=15&thumbnails=&advanced_search=true&engine_version=6.0(idem )

in my POV, it remains possible a military painted one existed… with real convincing markings !!

THUS … the question remains OPEN ..

Hello, dear C-130’s colleagues,

I was glad to discover this immortal thread, started more than 10 years ago !!

How many operators ? then & now ? ! :confused:

Searching regularly to have a better view of all the ‘users’, I’ve made serious progresses,
recently, in the Small AF thread #16, p 49 …….;
WITH MANY THANKS to all the answering colleagues of ‘there’ !!

as starting point, I have this Wiki-list (not fully correct) ;
…………..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_C-130_Hercules#Operators
>>>>>you have to add ; Abu Dhabi, Zaïre, Qatar, Vietnam, DRC,.

But, altough cited -here & elsewhere- I don’t consider these ‘phantom’ operators ;

Angola, Central African Republic, Eritrea, Hungary, Liberia & Syria
>>>>>>>>>Until “proof to the contrary” i.e. real pics with convincing markings !!

For now, I conclude so ; 70 current operators & 3 former ones …..

I’d like to know your POV & comments, mainly about the 6 above-cited phantoms…

‘out of competition’ ;:D ; this former Soviet one (in the James Bond film “The living daylights”);

nearly finishing my ww-C-130 collection !!

in the wikipedia list of C-130 operators, one can find also “HUNGARY” !!

>> till now, I can’t find any pics of it..

IIRC, at least one was used recently by NATO, with small Hungarian AF markings,

AND there was a good view in one of the previous KP threads….. (but where ?)

Can you help ?

Continuing my ‘ww’-C-130 collection…….

i just had a look to the most recent wikipedia’s POV ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_C-130_Hercules#Operators

but it’s most probably not 100% correct ; so e.g. I don’t agree for LIBERIA…
…….. OK for Afghanistan (!) & Ethiopia(*) ; both countries got recently (more) recent ones !
(*) I cannot find any views with their national roundel !!

… about Angola :

Angolan Air Force
Received 6 C-130K, 3 L-100-20, and 2 L-100-30 aircraft. None in flying condition now.

what are the ‘former’ countries (in green) on the map (Asia & Africa) ?

An other question !

in order to (try to) complete my ‘ww’-C-130 collection, I’d like to see a convincing view of

one of the RDC, i.e. with such a marking ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_of_the_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo

thanks in advance,
