Yes, and no. The company that donated her has a few more C-130s that they operate. The engines this one had on it were done. We swapped 4 good ones for the bad ones for the ferry. They naturally want the engines that are in good repair back for their airworthy fleet. We'll be hanging the boat anchors back on (with 3 bladed props).
