Dabney, Retired Lockheed Employee and C-130 Hercules Historian any historic milestones have been recorded by the Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules, but in August 2004, a major milestone will occur – the 50th anniversary of the prototype Hercules M aircraft’s first flight. This will be a world record as far as aircraft production longevity is concerned, a testimony to the plane’s rugged design, continued evolvement, and unmatched versatility. It was shortly after 2:45 p.m. on August 23, 1954, at Lockheed’s Burbank, California, facility, when the first YC-130 prototype took to the air. Test pilot Stan Beltz was in the left hand seat. Eight seconds down the runway, at 855 feet, the airplane leaped into the air in a spectacular 30 degree climb out. During the 61- minute test flight, mostly at 10,000 feet, Beltz and crew were amazed at the airplane’s power and ease of handling. Image—Lockheed Martin Archives Since that auspicious beginning, the C-130 has become one of the world’s truly classic airplanes, being operated around the world in more than 70 versions, including the L-100 civil derivative. Starting out primarily as a tactical military airlifter, delivering troops and supplies into and out of short strips of sand, grass, and snow, the C-130 quickly became one of the world’s most effective ambassadors of goodwill, as a hefty “flying pickup,” hauling relief goods to disaster areas around the world, hunting hurricanes, fighting forest fires, and refueling helicopters. Living up to its namesake, mythology’s legendary Greek strong man, the Hercules airlifter revolutionized the scientific exploration of Antarctica (on one-ton skis) and helped develop oil fields in Alaska, Peru, and Mexico. In recent years, in addition to its key roles in Iraq and Afghanistan where it operates routinely, the C-130 has provided vital airlift for Allied peacekeeping efforts in Yugoslavia and Bosnia.

By John Conti — Senior Flight Operations Analyst n August 23, 2004, the United States Postal Service ( ) will honor the 50th Anniversary of the First Flight of the C-130 Hercules with a Commemorative Pictorial O Cancellation. A Pictorial Cancellation is a unique postmark offered by the U.S. Postal Service to commemorate special events. Items that are cancelled using a commemorative design are usually in very limited quantity and are highly sought after by stamp collectors and others interested in U.S. postal history. Pictorial Cancellation Design This commemorative cancellation uniquely depicts aircraft serial number 53-3397 as it lifts into the air at 2:45pm on August 23, 1954. Also depicted in the pictorial cancellation design is the Lockheed Star logo of that era which appeared on the side of the airplane as the prototype YC-130 transport lifted off from Burbank, California, with Stan Beltz and Roy Wimmer at the controls and with flight engineer Dick Stanton and flight test engineer Jack Real as crew. The Lockheed airplane took flight that day powered by four Allison T56 turboprop engines and four AERO Product 3 bladed propellers as portrayed in the design. The prototype C-130 used just 855 feet of runway to take-off and climbed to an altitude of about 10,000 feet as the flight crew set about completing the scheduled test objectives for the first flight. The C-130 Hercules Pictorial Cancellation can be applied to an addressed or unaddressed envelope, postcard, a favorite C-130 photo, or any similar item desired as a commemorative of this historic event. A familiar postal “bull’s-eye” located in the upper left corner of the design reflects the long time Marietta, Georgia, home of the Hercules, where production C-130s are still rolling off the assembly floor. The zip code “30063” is unique to the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company in Marietta. Postal Pictorial Cancellation Service There are several ways to participate in this historic event. One option is to be present at the temporary philatelic C-130 Hercules First Flight Station on August 23, 2004, within the Lockheed Martin facility. Once there, you can take advantage of the Hand-back service for the pictorial cancellation offered by the Marietta Postmaster on that day only, from 9am to 5pm. The Hand-back service is free of charge for quantities less than 50 items. The Postmaster will make available this unique pictorial cancellation on any material that bears un-canceled postage at the U.S. First-Class rate of 37 cents. These items do not require an address, as once cancelled, the item is immediately returned to the individual. (Continued on page 5) Volume 29., No. 2 Click to Return to Table of Contents Page 4 (Continued from page 4) Another way to participate is through the Mail-back TO: ITEMS service offered by the Marietta Postmaster. This SEND method permits Hercules enthusiasts to submit TO: Postmaster envelopes, postcards, photographs, posters, and ATTN: C-130 Hercules First Flight Station other materials through the mail directly to the 257 Lawrence Street Marietta Post Office for cancellations over a 30 day Marietta, Georgia, USA 30060-9998 period, from August 23, 2004, through September 23, 2004. Mail-in requests should be addressed to the Postmaster, Attention: C-130 Hercules First Flight Station and must be postmarked no later than September 23, 2004. Items submitted must also bear unused postage of at least the U.S. First- Class postage rate of 37 cents. Items must be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope with applicable U.S. postage for the return of each item. If the item is an envelope or postcard and you wish for it to pass through the mail-stream, these individual items need to be addressed and must also bear unused U.S. postage of at least the First-Class rate, and sufficient postage to allow the item to be returned to you. Commemorative Pictorial Cancellation Proof Cards Available First Flight Proof Cards will be available in limited quantity through the Lockheed Martin Employee Association (LMEA) Gift Shop. These special cards will show a copy of the original first flight photograph and the C-130 Hercules Pictorial cancelled over the 100th Anniversary of the Wright Brothers First Flight Stamp, embossed lettering on the front, and a brief history of the first flight on the back. Each commemorative proof card is displayed in a Lockheed Martin embossed presentation folder commemorating this historic event. Also, in addition to the proof cards, LMEA Gift Shop will have several other commemorative items, such as shirts, hats, etc., available for purchase. This Gift Shop is open to the public. You can order by phone at 770-494-3922, or online at the LMEA WEB site, at www. lockheedmartingiftshop.com.

Sapolsky The end of the Cold War produced major changes in the U.S. defense sector. More than 2 million defense workers, military personnel, and civil servants have lost their jobs. Thousands of ªrms have left the industry. More than one hundred military bases have closed, and the production of weapons is down considerably. As signiªcant as these changes are, they do not address the key issues in restructuring the post–Cold War defense sector. The Reagan-era defense buildup led contractors to invest in huge production capacity that no longer is needed. This capacity overhang includes too many open factories, each of which produces a “legacy” system that was designed for the Cold War. Many individual defense plants are also too large to produce efªciently at post–Cold War levels of demand. Until this excess capacity is eliminated, the United States will continue to spend too much on defense. The politics of jobs and congressional districts that many analysts thought governed the Cold War have triumphed in its aftermath. Today, years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, not one Cold War weapon platform line has closed in the United States.1 The same factories still produce the same aircraft, ships, and armored vehicles (or their incremental descendants).

    Memorial Tributes: Volume 8 BEN RICH 200 Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. Memorial Tributes: Volume 8 BEN RICH 201 Ben Rich 1925-1995 By Willis M. Hawkins Ben Rich died on January 5, 1995, after a full career as an engineer, a designer, and an effective and cherished executive. I first knew Ben when he joined the Lockheed Aircraft Company in Burbank back in 1950. He came to us from the University of California, Berkeley, and University of California, Los Angeles, with a master's degree in mechanical engineering. At the time, I was in charge of the Advanced Design Organization under the Deputy Chief Engineer C. L. "Kelly" Johnson, and we were working on our first Mach 2+ Air Force fighter proposal, which became the F-104. Ben was assigned the task of analyzing the aerothermodynamic performance of the power plant with little or no existing state of the art for supersonic inlets. It is a testament to Ben's understanding of this specialty that the inlet configuration was classified by the Air Force and the details obscured in Air Force-released pictures of the airplane for a number of years. The Lockheed "Skunk Works," which had originated during the design and development of the original P-80 prototype "Lulu-Belle," was being reactivated at about the time that the F-104 was conceived. Its specific purpose was the secret development of the U-2, and Ben was ''borrowed" by Kelly Johnson to help on that program. His "temporary'' assignment became his career. Under Kelly, Ben pursued his specialty of aerothermodynamic analysis.

The aircraft struck the ground 1.25 miles east of the airport and destroyed several homes, automobiles, and other property. me aircraft's occupants--three crew- members--and six persons on the ground were killed. Two others were injured slight- ly. The aircraft was destroyed by impact and fire. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the-probable cause of this accident was overrotation of the aircraft at lift-off resulting in flight in th aerodynamic region of reversed comnd, near the stall regime, and at too low an altitude to effect recovery. The reason for the aircraft's entering this adverse flight condition could not be determined. Factors which may have contributed to the accident include: (a) Improper cargo loading, (b) a rearward mvement of unsecured cargo resulting in a center of gravity shift aft of the allowable limit, and (c) deficient crew coordination. As the result of this accident, the Safety Board has made several reconmenda- tions to the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.

Loftin, Arch McCleskey, Patricia Thomas Art Direction and Production: Anne G. Anderson This summer marks the 25th anniversary of the first flight of the Lockheed Hercules; a Volume 6, No. 3, July - September 1979 quarter century of service to nations throughout the world! Over 1,550 Hercules (C-130s Vol. 6, No. 3, July. September 1979 and L-100) have been delivered to 44 countries. We at Lockheed are very proud of this Contents: record and the reputation the Hercules has earned. It is a reputation built on depend- ability, versatility, and durability. 2 Focal Point The Hercules is a true workhorse. Many developing countries depend on it to carry all types of cargo, from lifesaving food to road-building equipment. They carry these cargoes to remote areas that are not easily accessible by any other mode of transporta- 3 tion. An additional advantage is its ability to land and take off in incredibly short 3 Crew Door Rigging distances, even on unpaved clearings. The tasks the Hercules is capable of accomplishing are almost limitless; from hunting hurricanes, to flying mercy relief missions. It is the universal airborne platform. And it is 14 Royal Norwegian Air Force energy-efficient, using only about half the fuel a comparable jet aircraft would require. 15 One of the more interesting aspects of these 25 years is that while the external design of 15 Hydraulic Pressure Drop the aircraft has changed very little, constant improvements in systems and avionics equip- ment have made the world’s outstanding cargo airplane also among the world’s most modern.
