Here are some more photos.

-60- a parted out C-130 Herc.  Interesting the airfoil is symmetrical for a heavy lift airplane that always flies straight and level.  Then I put 1 and 1 together- a symmetrical airfoil does not change lift with speed...because it has flaps.
An undercamber wing has higher lift. Lift is proportional to forward speed.
-62- The PM's spare airplane.  He is on the other plane in the far east today (Malaysia).
The new paint job cost $50,000 more than the old gray paint job as in the C-130...per plane.
