Delta L-100s

[The_Russian]

Wow! I had no idea you guys flew these. I picked up a book published in 1974 and it showed one in Delta colors. That must have been pretty cool, huh?

Who flew one?

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

I think they only had 3 or 4...

Actually Delta was the largest operator of L10's for a while. We had a fleet of 54 L1011's.

I think he was referring to the L-100 which is a C-130 in civilian use.

I think he was referring to the L-100/C-130. I flew L-100's for SAT.
Donsa beat me too it!

In any case, I'm sure the L-100 payscale was far superior to current pay rates (even without inflation figured in).

I saw a "coffee table book" on Delta. The L-100s (C-130s) were used as freighters from 1967 - 1973. We also had Dc-8 freighters for a while after the L-100s went away

what's the difference between a:

L-382 vs. L-100?

Thanks

Hey, when I go to McDonalds and see your fat ass working the fryer, I don't complain to the manager that you're not making enough $$, so let pilots working for Delta worry about their payrates.......

The L-382 had a stretched fuselage. I don't think the military ever got them.

We have 8 brand new L382 stretch J models at Keesler.

He was talking about real C-130s/L382s, not J models...

 

[F/O]

DAL outsourced the training to the folks at Little Rock

 

[jke406]

and we care because....?

Yeah, but when you wake-up in the morning you're in Mississippi. Not worth the cool planes.

L-382 is the FAA designation for the civilian C-130. "L-100" was what Lockheed marketing called the airplane. Delta got the L-100's in Sept 1966. They were basic C-130E. Later, they were stretched to become L-100-20 and the external wing tanks were removed. There was also a super stretched model, L-100-30, but DAL didn't buy any of those. Delta did all of the training in house.

Ha ha..you should fly with us once. You could heat up my lunch for me. Wait..we have a microwave ;-)

J/k...I flew ACs and MCs with MANY MANY crewmembers and think the J model is an outstanding aircraft, FWIW.

I live in FL.
