Skyviper 1,101 Posted August 15, 2014 Hello CombatACE I'm working on a video that wil salute the C-130's 60th anniversary and I'm wondering if any of you out there would like to write a brief statement about something you like about the C-130 or if you want to say something positive about it. Thank you for your time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luk1978 210 Posted August 15, 2014 Hope it's positive enough... AC-130 is the best thing that happened to old Herky Bird ever.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+daddyairplanes 10,235 Posted August 15, 2014 Best rollercoaster ride you don't have to pay for. Landings at Skopje, Balad AB and Kandahar Airfield using the Sarajevo drop. Several hundred feet altitude in seconds, then your stomach catches up with you a few seconds after landing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Muesli 2,161 Posted August 15, 2014 Ah... the Sarajevo drop.... good times!(Although I experienced mine in an Il-76 on Sarajevo Airport in 94).Back to topic... I like the Herky Bird with RATOs.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+allenjb42 4,234 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) My sister in law's boss was a pilot on one that flew into Entebbe. More recently he was on one of the new Israeli C-130 Samsons presented to the airforce. I think someone posted a video of the ceremony here a while back.

Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted September 5, 2014 Don't forget the originals in buff metal skins. Neatest is so quiet pointed at you, but loud and makes hurricane winds when pointed away from you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
