An old B&W print of an Alaska Airlines C-130 "Golden Nugget Freighter" is the featured photo for the week on my Vintage Air blog. Would love to know where this was shot at, though.

Might not be too hard if you really wanted to know... Look up the UC-123K in the photo. No. 55-4535, c/n 20196. Now/was sitting in the yard at Davis-Monthan. Just track down the flight records of her, on the date of the photo and you should find her location, thus the location of the photo.

Hi Josh, Thanks for the idea! Just not sure where I'd find the flight records....

AFMC public affairs, Freedom of Information Act, Davis-Monthan public affairs. I don't really know myself. I looked around the net for the info last night and didn't get anymore info other than what I posted. I don't know how long they keep the logs, or even if they do after the aircraft is chopped. Can be some time and money to find the info, especially with a FoIA request. Just depends on how bad you want to know where the photo was shot. ;)
