LOOK 'MA' NO HOOK! :o :lol: Great Vid Mike , good to hear some detail on the weights , with a 132 wingspan be interesting to or compare the amount off room left on the 900ft lateral runway? ............ little extra piece off info - they have even tested the U2 with only an 80 foot wingspan but look at the design ! :blink:

You can read about it in the definitive history of the C-130 "Herk: Hero of the Skies" if you can find a copy. It's a good read.
