C-130F in Carrier Operations Evaluation

In a test of the venerable and versatile C-130's suitability to support the Navy, a C-130F was equipped with an antiskid braking system and landed on the U.S.S. Forrestal. Footage courtesy Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company.

Love that Plane!

One of the coolest and most useful military planes ever made!

I did all my training in Schenectady NY where the last wing of 130s that are equipped with skiis is based, loved hearing
"Katana 3RF, cleared to land RW 28, caution wake turbulance departing C130."

Their call sign is "Skier"

If I were in that plane I'd be soiling my drawers.

Amazing tho.
