It was probably a sarcastic/ farce “Open Line Friday” call.....I am fairly familiar with C-130s since my Dad flew them in Vietnam and I used to fall out the back end of them at low altitudes during the course of my own military career. If the wheels of a C-130 got driven up into the fuselage and the propellers worn down to nubs, it would have flattened the fuselage and the wings would have broken off. (The wings sit on top of the fuselage and the wheel wells are in the bottom of the fuselage). As survivable and as tough as the plane is, I seriously doubt anyone would survive such an accident in a C-130.
I don’t know where to put this, so here goes:
A B29 FLEW OVER MY HOUSE 20 minutes or so ago!!!
Holy Cr__! Bee-u-ti-ful!
If you want to go see it, it’s at the Camarillo Airport, right off the 101 Ventura Freeway, Camarillo, all this week-end, I believe.
Looking forward to more flyovers as ‘they’ are giving (paid) rides this weekend.
We’re taking 2 grandsons for a viewing this weekend.
