txojumps 0 #3 February 18, 2004 The civilian version of a c-130 is the L-382 and I'm pretty sure there's more than one in the US. Maybe Winsor could provide some more info. *************************************** Awright, guys, you don't have one, so don't act like one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygod7777 0 #4 February 18, 2004 the one that comes to the WFFC is own by a civilian. cherry air i believe is the name of the company. call the people at WFFC and i'm sure they can get you a phone number or something. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeakMindedFool 0 #5 February 18, 2004 There is actually a whole bunch...you can even buy one out of Aero Trader for the low price of $900,000! Most are set up for firefighting, and they've had a bit of a problem pulling out of dives of late...Most aren't set up for skydiving. You could get on the USFS web site and see what the smoke jumpers use, It's almost assureedly a private contractor (All USFS aircraft are) with a large ship that's set up for skydiving..
