 | I agree Vikingberserker  here is some pics from when it arrived.. as you see even the engines was taken of.. so it has taken one year to get it back in its full glory ( with all original parts ) and with great thanks to the help from 335 Sqd.it was actually flightworthy with almost brand new engines until a short while ago.. all engines was in place and pretty much everything was comming togethter..but then they had a accident with one of the engines of one of the C-130 still fying for the AF..so they requested one of the engines from the C-130 we had gotten ( as its now museum property and will never fly again ) so now we have one engine with some bad fanblades as one of the groundcrew forgot a maglite in there ( on the one they still had in use ) during a check and it took of with that maglite still in the engine.. made a pretty fast landing again..hehe ! but thats ok its complete and that is what counts

| uuups--hehe sorry but you know what..its no fun when you spend two hole days putting on a engine ( thats how long each engine took to put on as we havent done it before..( the guys at 335 Sqd used 4hrs on each engine ) and when the final cowling is in place the AF comes and tell you to take it off because they need the engine.. and when its taken off you have to put on another engine again..and when all engines was in place..the AF comes and tell you that they need the serial numbers on each engine so they can put it in the invetory that these engines are now with the museum..so of goes all the cowlings again.. so its not just all fun..as those serialnumbers are on the backside of the engines..almost imposible to see.. just look at that sour face when i had to start taking the cowlings of again.. hehe and man..that is quite a lot of panels and screws..

| You'd think since you're giving them an engine they would at least remove an reinstall them for you! Wow, the Loadstar is a beaut! How many planes do you guys have???

| The Loadstar was flown in back in 1996 and preserved and repainted well..they gave US the whole C-130 and since we wnated it we did the job..hehe but they did come and help and actually mounted a couple of the engines ..as we was a bit confused there.. but after a couple we were left to do the rest. we have 37 aircrafts in our museum ( that is at gardermoen ) but with the museum up north in bodø and the one down south in stavanger ( its about 80 aircrafts or more..several aircrafts are on loan here and there ) but a special thanks go to the groundcrew on 335 Sqd for all the help with the C-130 here is a few pictures of the inside of the C-47 since we are on the transport topic. it has a long history ( made in 1944 ) took part in the D-day.. after the war it took part in the berlin airlift before it was sold to Norway and grounded in the early 70`s ( was in Kongo and a lot of other places during its time in the AF ) and been preserved since ! the funny thing is that somebody has written on the main id tag from the manufaturer on the delivery date " NEVER " so it was newer delivered but it sure saw action and had a long life..hehe

| last update from the musem..the Flak 38 wagon has now been restored..and also a couple of luftwaffe fueldrums.. small things that needed to be done..the Flak 38 will soon follow mounted on the trolley some might complain that we actually painted over the original drum and paint..but the rest of the drum BADELY needed a full tretment from corrosion..so the whole drum was glassbeaded to save it ..and to restore the rest of the drum and keep the lid original it would just look plain stupid.. and we did two drums in once ( both luftwaffe fueldrums ( B4 are bomber fuel.. Me 109 and fighters in the early war used C 3 fuel )
