Subdeacon Joe 25,966 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Guy is insane. Danged fine pilot though. Watch in full screen for best effect. http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/cpasley/5495/ Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Hand 2 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I've ridden many a mile in a C-130, fortunately none like that! What an amazing 55 year old airplane! Link to post Share on other sites
Old Scatterbrain 0 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 People sometimes think of cargo plane pilots as bus drivers compared to the oh-so-cool fighter pilots. Eh, not so much. Flying in and out of Baghdad,being in the cargo section you have no idea what the plane is doing, but it sure FEELS like this. Link to post Share on other sites
DocWard 5,425 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I've seen some C-130s, old C-141s, and now C-5s and C-17s do some pretty hard banks and other things going into Wright-Patterson AFB, but nothing like that! Link to post Share on other sites
Hacker, SASS #55963 0 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 That was cool. Has anyone found something the C-130 cannot do? Link to post Share on other sites
Chantry 1,245 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The J Model is a significant upgrade over the prior E/H models, with a lot of internal, engine and prop changes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_C-130J_Super_Hercules Think a C-130 E/H on steriods Link to post Share on other sites
Uno Mas SASS #80082 18 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Falls real nice, donit? The Herc is a great airplane. The '17 is even better. 'Course, I'm a might bit prejudiced. Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Windshadow 0 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 He sure gave "Bitching Betty" a workout as well.... he was working inside a very small "box" for that demonstration as well (the airspace allocated for the performance by the air show organizers if you fly outside it I think they assess a fairly heavy fine... they started the practice after a USSR Concordski crashed at their show some years ago) Link to post Share on other sites
Subdeacon Joe 25,966 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 He sure gave "Bitching Betty" Is she any relation to Sgt. Connie Rodd? http://www.comicartville.com/eisnerps16cover.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
Rancho Roy 266 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Interesting that he did most of that with the cargo door open. I wonder if the ramp give him more rear lift? I like the part where he says ...."HOLD ON!" Amazing they perform this airshow over such a populated area................... Do a search for a C130 doing carrier landings, without a tail hook!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Harley, #14153 2,970 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Way too cool! I loved how the automated warning systems kept broadcasting stall and altitude messages. Link to post Share on other sites
