Component repair for a platform that is still doing the mission.

C-130 component support
Start with the unit that came off the aircraft.
Sunshine Air Repairs works component families, not aircraft types. These are the systems C-130 operations most often send in for repair and overhaul.
DC starter-generators & electrical power
Starter-generators, generator control units, static inverters, converters and emergency power supplies.
Fuel system components
Fuel probes and quantity indication, flow transmitters, booster pumps, filters and shutoff valves.
Valves, pumps & actuation
Bleed, pressure and brake valves; hydraulic pumps; linear, flap and steering actuators.
How to confirm scope
The part number is the test, not the aircraft type.
Sunshine Air Repairs holds FAA Part 145 ratings for Accessories, Instruments, Airframe and Radio. Those approvals are written against part numbers, so a unit installed on a C-130 may well be supported even when the aircraft is not listed anywhere on this site.
Platform relevance identifies where current component capability aligns. It does not imply customer endorsement or contract history.
