I guess I'd better look in one of our Dash ones?

Bluesteel, I forgot about the H-3 version. In the H-52, the same basic check was done but the tilt table also came in quite handy for getting a boring flight finished a bit more quickly. Anyone able to expound upon that?

Which gauge on the C-130 aircraft has a double ended needle (pointed at both ends)?

It is so tempting to answer this, but it is time to let others play. So, I'm taking a back course to holding on this one.

That would be the Aileron trim indicator.

Now that's pretty good Pat! Forgot all about that one!

How's the 1500s doing?

Ok... here is another one.

28 vdc motors, two

One used for fuel
And the other for...?

Hint: powered from the same buss.

No one answered the question on the first Coast guard "Search & Rescue" Airstation correctly.
Moorehead City was the first "Airstation" but it wasn't designated as serch and rescue....
The answer is San Diego.....1937, built because of all the Navy pilots at North Island that needed saving.
This I found in the old Basic SAR Aircrew course.

Another old timer question was, What was edible in the H3 and possibly other aircraft of that era?

The co-pilot, if you have to beach it?

LOL.....Crash Axes do come in handy.

for the 28vdc motors, all I can think of is either oil cooler flap actuator or the elevator trim actuator when emergency is selected?

belay my last, I wasn't thinking. Bleed Air divider valve.

Main DC

wiper motor

You know, I can't remember a thing about the wiper motor, I think it might be ESS DC.

28 vdc motors, two
One used for fuel
And the other for...?

One drains a load
The other turns a load blue!

I'll try not to keep this suffering going for long.

wiper motor is main dc, but to keep you happy, the lav pump.

28 vdc motors, two
One used for fuel
And the other for poo!

One drains a load
The other turns a load blue!

Refueling manifold drain pump and the atomic toilet flush motor; both powered from Main DC.

Never could remember where the wiper motor breaker was!

Your turn... (poetry not required)

How long are the HF antennas on the Herc?
