Talk:Lockheed LC-130

landing
how does the plane land on normal airstrips if it﻿ only has giant ice skates? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.140.22.251 (talk) 06:13, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Look closely at the picture of the nosewheel ski; you will see the wheels are still there, protruding thru the flexible ski structure. Raymondwinn (talk) 11:02, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

LC-130
You removed an edit I made this afternoon (I wasn’t logged in at the time) from the LC-130 page. The plane is there, it is visible in satellite images of the airport, and I can send you a picture of it taken this afternoon if needed. It’s the only LC-130 on display and I’d like to get that info back on the page. Atd413 (talk) 04:10, 16 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, Atd413, and thank you for your interest in this topic. I am very sympathetic to your edit. However, unfortunately there is no WP:RELIABLE on which to base it. If you live nearby, taking a picture of the aircraft would be a good way to include it in the article. BTW, the Pima Air & Space Museum has a ski-equipped C-130D on display. This could be mentioned in the article. Cheers, HopsonRoad (talk) 16:08, 16 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I have pictures from yesterday. So if pictures are added can the “aircraft on display” section be restored? That’s one of the first things I look for on most aircraft pages and it has proven very helpful. Also I have been to the Pima museum and don’t recall seeing a ski equipped C-130, it may be a recent addition or it may be stored at the boneyard adjacent to the museum at Davis Monthan AFB. I’m not sure if that info would belong on a page specific to the LC-130 or not. Atd413 (talk) 22:18, 16 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, Atd413, I provided you with the to the Pima A&S Museum ski-equipped C-130D link, above. That link can be the basis for listing said aircraft with a reference. You would still need a link to list the aircraft in question in text, but if you include a photograph, you can just state the pertinent facts in the caption.

Hi, Atd413, I was able to find references to support inclusion of both original aircraft in the "Aircraft on display" section. Cheers, HopsonRoad (talk) 02:50, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Great, thanks! I have a picture of the plane in my camera, when I get a chance I will upload it to the page as well. Atd413 (talk) 03:58, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
