Hercs and parts Abbotsford BC
I'm thinking a Herc body would make a great garden shed:

It's always sad to see more of these old pieces go. Odds are that some of us will have ridden on some of these.

Now the other side of the story - Raiding Museums for Parts
Hi Hans
Read with interest the post about scrapping out C 130s, then this morning someone in are local club sent me this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news...where-29224170 about having to get parts off C130s in Museums. There is an odd symmetry to this, also good logic for the military to loan good complete vehicles and aircraft for museum display, gets them off the books but keeps them where they can get their hands on parts. I'm sure the museum was more than happy to cooperate, just good will on finding parts for display aircraft. Cheers Phil

I think the last of the old Hercs are on their way out...the CF announced a contract about 5+ years ago about a contract for new generation Hercs. A CF urban legend is that Lockheed Martin bought back one of the old Lockeed Hercs in Canadian service to see how the CF kept it flying for so long...
