The cockpit shot sure brought back memories.  I flew the C130 A model for two years "alone, unarmed and scared $hitless" FAC and flare missions over the trail.  What a great airplane.  Thanks for posting.

I had always wished I could've been a crew member in one of those 130 Spectre ships. ESPECIALLY with photo 21 as my team mate!!!  Evil cooldude Cheesy

I remember "Puff" very well.  When we were in over our head, LT always shouted to his radioman, see if "A$$ $aver is available.  Them were the days (scary).

I think pic 6 is hilarious!  They've got enough ammo to blow most small countries to kingdom come, and one tiny little fire extinguisher "just in case".

     I recognized the 105MM shell right away from my tank days but never knew they were mounted in an gunship.

My favorite as well. Very aerodynamic.  I believe that pic is of the new fur lined cockpit  Evil
