Looking to buy a C-130 nose hulk from cockpit aft to rear cockpit bulkhead (F.S. 245) for use as a maintenance trainer.

Try Don Howell at HAVECO in Tucson for the Herc nose - he had a bunch of them at one time.
HAVECO@aol.com will get you through to him, and drop my name so he'll know how you got the lead.
If the Herc cockpit doesn't work out, I can always sell you 30' + of a DC-7 cockpit I'm trying to get rid of!
Neat project idea you have there - good luck with it.

Thanks Rob! This is actually for a defense contract involving C-130 cockpit and avionics upgrades. I'll make sure they drop your name.

This couldn't have anything to do with the Snow C-130M does it?

No, it'd be a maintenance trainer for a pending contract to upgrade USN C-130 avionics.

There's one at the PHX-Mesa Gateway airport (formerly Williams AFB). It's on the east side and has been there for some time. Their web site is
