 I seen C130 land with 3 of the 4 nearly useless...I would almost bet it could take off from a aircraft carrier...

A C130 made 21 unarrested landings and takeoffs from the deck of the Forrestal(CV59) in Oct. and Nov.,1963. That aircraft is on display at the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, Florida.

I guess a lot of it would have ta do with what the plane was carrying.  I would imagine just troops, no heavy equipment.  But hey, I been wrong bafore ::)

The C 130 could carry 92 passengers, or 72 Troops, or 64 paratroopers.

Several years ago, a C130 landed on a modern carrier deck in an emergency. A C130 was never designed to land on a carrier deck.

There are a couple of .avi files floating around the internet of a C-130 taking off and landing on a carrier.  I have them somewhere, but don't remember which machine.  At the time Jimmy Carter announced they were used in the bungled desert raid in Iran, it was a state secret we could do this.  A mere feather in his load of sins.

Jimmy was perty lost durrin them 4 years.  If there had been anyone else but him running on that ticket in '80 John Anderson and the Independents wouldn't have got nearly the support they did.  Just a matter of a good chunk of the poplation not wanting ta vote Republican an havin nowhere else ta turn.  It ain't happened since (I don't count Perot, he up an quit).

The other day, Lil tolt me she heard a plane fly over but it sounded strange.  I asked her what she meant and she described the low drone of a C130.  They must still be flyin em outta Beale AFB every now an then.

LR, We used to get a visit from a SR 71 when I worked on the west side of Fort Worth near Carswell AFB. The SP's would escort it to a separate hangar under armed guard.

When I was working that area, you never knew what was gonna show up. We had one of those 747 Flying Command Centers land out there and we even had the Shuttle flying piggyback on NASA's 747 land out there.
