Ryan,

Dyess C-130's consist of 3 different variants:  C-130H1's, C-130H's (think E model with -15 engines, a.k.a. Super E's), and borrowed C-130E's.  H1's and H's both use the -15 engine, so the performance is the same, the only real difference is that the H's have a GTC and ATM, whereas the H1's use an APU.  

The E models that are borrowed have -7 engines, therefore different performance charts.  We borrowed them only because we have restricted tails here but still the same flying hour demands.  None of our H1's have been sent to the boneyard, fortunately.

Dyess FE's don't get the E model pubs issued to us, they are in kits that we check out when we go fly them, otherwise, I'd have a whole lot more info to upload here for everyone to enjoy.

Dan, Matt Miller sounds familiar, but I cannot say that I do.  He may be in the 40th.  Has he been at Dyess for a while?  I'm still a newb as I've only been there since June 04.  I mentioned your name to Gary Newman today and he said to tell you 'what up' next time I was on here.  I guess he knew you from his days at DM.

Dan,

I asked Gary about Matt, and he said he doesn't know him either.  However, I do know Storm, he's over in the 40th and doing well.

Will do Dan. 

After I get my minimum time in here at Dyess (about 18 months), I'll be trying to get some orders to either DM or Hurlburt...
