New jump trainer at Fort Bragg

Post by ehusmann »

An album on Flickr showed a new C-130E being installed at Fort Bragg as jump trainer. It is the 63-7852, former Litte Rock bird. Pictures in the album show it being towed into place, painted completely black with 'United States Army Advanced Airborne School' titles. Pictures are from last year already, but so far I had not found any info on this bird being in use here.
It joined another Hercules frame and a fuselage (which should be inside here), though I would appreciate confirmation on the exact identity of the other two.

Album on Flickr and the location on Fort Bragg.
