BluBear Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Saw this posted on one of the aviation forums, the quality of the footage isn't great but it's quite a sight all the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyKnight Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 So if it was successful, why didn't they carry it on as normal? I guess just one Herc would tie up an entire carrier, and nothing else could launch or land till the Fat Albert buggered off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if they were way out to sea and the 130 went U/S on the deck. Where would you put it?! lol. Great skill from the pilots in question, especially as they had no previous experience on type, or any multi engined type at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rox Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 That carrier needs one of these on the deck just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 This was on the USS Forrestal I think, they needed a new aircraft for at sea replenishment and cargo hauling. While aweosome, the herky bird was not suited for carrier ops (It could not be stowed below decks). They then came up with the C2 Greyhound COD, while smaller is equally awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 WOW! Just one more notch in the 130's impressive gun belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
