allardjd 1,853 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Not sure I'd have included the P-80 and the F-104, but the C-130 should certainly be in a list of Lockheed's finest. It doesn't qualify as one of Kelley's Heroes, however, since he wasn't the designer and wasn't associated with it. He once wrote a letter to the President of Lockheed virtually begging him not to produce the C-130 because he feared it would bankrupt the company. Kelley was a smart guy, but like everyone else. he wasn't incapable of being wrong. By the way, saw a F-104 in flight this week, probably out of the warbird museum at Titusville FL (KTIX), near where we were. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites
