HC-130J Beam Approach

I had that same view for 3 years! Miss my FE years!

I'm From Indonesia, And I See C - 130 AURI (Angkatan Udara Republik Indonesia)Was Doing Parachute Test, It's Cool But A But Annoying Because When It's Night They Turboprop Machine wAs Very Loud, And Even I See They Sprinkling Salt For Make A Rain

in landing jargon, that one was a "greaser". Nice job to all the crew.

One the absolute safest aircraft flying. When I was deployed to the former Yugolslovia as part of the NATO SFOR II Peacekeeper Force, I routinely flew back and forth to Germany on scheduled C-130 flights. On numerous occasions, I was the senior officer on board and would get invited to sit in one of the jump seats up on the Flight Deck. Pretty cool experience for a non-rated officer like me.

Love how we display our operations....OPSEC?!!

Curious... why are the instrument panels strobing on and off? Something with the video or another reason?

Great job crew.
Shame the news spotlights all the dross youngsters.
They are loads out there like this crew. God bless you, thanks for your service 🫡

👏👍✈👋

Love that aircraft. Flew in them many times during Vietnam.

Hey I gotta say the way the pilot whipped it in that turn was the most badass thing I've seen in a while

Girls on deck 😍

Could you imagine if a C-130 pilot time travelled from the 1950’s and saw this cockpit?

Far cry from the old "B" models i flew on way back when. 1965+

Veo que estos muchachos a veces enfrentan la pista muy rápido o el vídeo ha sido recortado o editado, los pasajeros deben ir súper asustados.

Excellent piloting ....Great confidence...wonderfull landing

That "Beam Approach" you requested, is that actually a 'Published Approach' ??
Percision or non-percision ??

Little bummpy😊

faite attention a votre cadence en virage

In the 1970's we flew the "H" variant in the USCG. I was an AC in them for almost 5 years and it's an amazing aircraft. That glass cockpit makes me feel old. We were all analog, no GPS ( hadn't been invented ), old school RDF and LORAN C. But I would put my life in it's wings any day and salute all who follow the "Herky Bird" tradition.

yikes, woman pilot

Gotta love a flying warehouse, kudos to the pilots

kinda looks like a baseleg pattern approach, a right turn from there to the threshhold. THats the word pilots use- baseleg

never flew those, not much flare on landing. interesting.

I was a Crew Chief on the C-130 J Test Team at Keesler AFB, MS. The Pilot and Co-pilot are a lot busier in a C-130J vs. an E or H model. No more Flight Engineer or Navigator on cargo versions. The Loadmaster sits in the Engineer's seat and does some work in flight.

looks like Moody AFB

Can someone explain the flashing screens?

Very nice approach and landing! At first I thought you were going to switch your flight display or that you were apparently flying a visual approach only, then saw the HUDs. I'd assume it's a combination, but the Primary Flight Display/HUD sure is a nice tool for precision approaches and landings. God Bless you and your crew!

I always wonder how a pilot ends up flying a C-130 and not an F-15 ?

Can you imagine the cost of replacing just the tires on all the military planes??? Huge numbers.

What's a beam approach?

Smoothest landing ever in a fixed wing was a C130 arriving in Vietnam April 23, 1971...

I love that sound. I was stationary for two years before I went to Travis Air Force Base. Thank you for the video again.

This brings back a lot of good memories 1968 Abilene, Texas C130E going to Germany for 90 days. Could you find out what happened to 883 it looks a lot different in the cockpit I miss the old plane I kept it very clean for the crewmembers. Thank you for the video.

сраная америка !

Can one of the C 130 guys here explain the 2 throttle control handles for a 4 engine aircraft? Just curious how that works or am I missing something

Welcome home, Heroes. God bless and thank you for your service.

Just another day in the office. Well done ❤️❤️

What do the visors with the glass prisms do?

I recognize that field. Pretty sure it's Belle Chasse, so mudt be a VR54 crew.

Why do pilot and co pilot have hands on at same time😮? doesn't trust her....or doest she trust him...😊?

So you are a pretty woman, sitting at a bar and some guy asks you what you do for a living. Your answer: I am a fighter pilot on an F-22. Can you imagine his surprised face? 😎😂

Exhilarating, smooth, great piloting. Things you can do when you’re a military pilot. I guess it’s just about the best job when you fly professionally.

The UK Royal Air Force has recently retired their C-130Js 😥

that approach seems overly long to me, good job all!

Why is another her hand on the yoke? No way operated by two people.

Why do the screens blink on and off?

Living near Dobbins RAFB, where many 130's are made, honestly - no other sound of aircraft gives me the sense of security these GOATs do. During overcast, you can hear them rev testing engines for miles. If all countries were forced to pick only 1 aircraft and no others, to include airborne tankers - - to me it'd be a no brainer-
C-130 and variants.
C-130♥️🇺🇲♾️🇺🇲♥️

Pour faire des manœuvres

Trop bas

Why are they both steering???
