- LC-130R Ski Herc Production Listing
|
-
- The LC-130R is based on the both the USAF's C-130 E and C-130H aircraft. 155917
was an E model. The three LC-130R1's were based on the C-130E with some C-130H
upgrades, the two LC-130R2's were based on the C-130H, although to keep the price down and
some commonality they used some C-130E parts and systems. Three of these LC-130R's were
selected by the USAF and the NFS to be modified by Raytheon Waco TX to LC-130H models.
- 155917 was purchased by the US Navy, the other four LC-130R aircraft were purchased by
the NSF.
