Remaining wreckage shortly after HC-130H #1600 went down on July 30, 1982 and sadly killed two of the crew. The aircraft was from Air Station Kodiak and crashed near Attu, Alaska. This C-130 crew was transporting personnel and cargo to the USCG Loran station on the island of Attu. VFR weather conditions deteriorated, forward visibility was lost, and the aircraft impacted with the terrain. The remainder of the crew were injured but escaped the wreckage and survived. This was the only loss of a USCG Hercules. [US Coast Guard photo]

Members of a depot maintenance team reconstruct a C-130E in October 1983 as they mate a replacement nose to C-130 with tail number 63-7896. A cockpit fire destroyed the original nose of the aircraft, necessitating this unique repair project at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas. (mishap must have happened between September 1981 and October 1983, need confirmation of when and what aircraft the nose came from) [USAF photo by SSGT John A Bauer]
