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

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

DAL outsourced the training to the folks at Little Rock

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.
