Didn't know you flew C-130's Bruce. I have lots of good Herc stories and videos from Antarctica and got to fly one for 30 minutes over the south polar plateau once. The only time I ever saw the Navy pilots frightened was when they had to shut all the engines down at my camp due to a mechanical. 660miles out of McMurdo in a remote camp with absolutely no way to preheat and not APU if it sat too long. Those guys were all over the questionable engine. Red Flag is on here now so there are Hercs going in and out of the bases.
