Large STOL

Have you modified your aircraft? STC? STOL Kit? Major rebuild from just a data plate?

Large STOL

Interesting video. I’ve always been impressed by the capability of the C-130 but this is ridiculous. Must have been a hell of a ride.

Smoke if you got em.

It's bad enough having the .50 cal fire right next to you in the OH-58D, but a fireball right outside you window must have been an experience.

I found a couple 130 vids of carrier landings...impressive.

All I know is that despite the crews efforts they couldn't get the gear to lock in the down posistion.
