The following is a public accumulation of C130 Briefing Guides, Study Guides, Ops Limits and various errata. ATTENTION: These are Unofficial documents. None of this information is a substitute for official publications, regulations or USAF Tech Orders. Feel free to view each file or download them all; print and use. Many of these documents are solely specific to a particular C-130 model, e.g. C-130E, H3, etc. If you have any gouge of your own please email me and I will add it to the collection. Please submit your names with your gouge so that all crew dogs know who to thank.
