Is there anything a C-130 cannot do? What an incredible aircraft. That landing, complete with reverse thrust, was incredible.



Just to make it a little crazier, all LC-130s (the ones with skis) fly out of upstate New York!

A C-130 with JATO is also fun to watch. I am not sure they do it any more, but the Blue Angels used to do a demo of it with Fat Albert[0] during their air show appearances.

That also reminds me of the C-130 modified with JATO for landing
