The mighty Herk

Post by phantomfreak »

I've uploaded three new paints to AVSIM. This time covering the C-130s belonging to the Air Force Reserve at Pope, North Carolina and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; along with the Tennessee ANGs based in Nashville. I've placed the flightplans I made along with the paints.

Very much appreciated.
On a side note whilst I was checking the AFRES units I found one that I had not heard of before and that I don't believe anybody has covered yet. There is a link here as it is a North Carolina AFRES unit.

Unless it's one of those associate units.

You may be referring to the C-130s based out of Pope Air Force Base/Fort Bragg, Norhth Carolina; those are the ones I painted.

There is a C-130 unit at Charlotte-Douglas IAP, the 145th AW.

As a joint civil-military facility, the airport is home to Charlotte ANGB and its host unit, the 145th Airlift Wing (145 AW) of the North Carolina Air National Guard, located in a military containment area on the east side of the airport. As an Air National Guard organization within the U.S. Air Force, the federal mission of the 145 AW is theater airlift and it is operationally-gained by the Air Mobility Command (AMC). The 145 AW is composed of over 300 full-time and over 1000 traditional part-time military personnel, operating and maintaining C-130 Hercules aircraft in support of combatant commanders world-wide or as otherwise directed by higher authority. Its state mission is to respond to requirements, typically of a humanitarian or disaster-relief nature, as identified by the Governor of North Carolina

Not sure if they been painted and packaged.

The 145th AW was included in the Seaboard ANG package. I think the Herks in the package have the older light blue tail flash. I have them with the newer flash in my sim, but do not recall where I found the textures, perhaps they were in the orignal package?

Those Herks I got. Along with the KC-135s at Seymour-Johnson there is actually a third unit.
After more research I did in fact find that the 307th FS is an associate sqn and so has no aircraft of it's own.

Another reason to stay thanks to BRAC! Difficult to track associate units at times, but I have seen one or 2 birds with those AF Res markings.

Those Pope Hercs would be of the 440th AW, formerly of pre-BRAC KMKE.

The 440th Operations Group consists of:

95th AS - Flying Badgers (Reserve unit-equipped 12 C-130H2)

2nd AS - Lancers (formerly of 43rd AW deactivated and now an active duty associate unit of the 440th AW)
