Vietnam Vet Hercules for NWM

摘要

Lockheed C-130A Hercules 57-0460 arrived at the National Warplane Museum (NWM) in Geneseo, New York, on August 20 and is currently in the process of restoration. Once completed, the aircraft - which has been christened Saigon Lady - will become the centrepiece of a planned Vietnam War memorial at the museum. The aircraft has a distinguished history, having flown with both the USAF and the Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF). It was during service with the latter that the airframe gained notoriety. Lt Pham Quang Kheim of the VNAF stole the Hercules and flew his family from Saigon to Singapore during the final days of the conflict, www. nationalwarplanemuseum.com
