I can't believe they were able to land one on an aircraft carrier. Talk about a hard landing, of course this happened in 1963 and it was a KC-130F.

I have seen a video of a Navy C-130 (assigned to support the Blue Angels) taking off with rocket assist. I swear that it looked like the thing was taking off at a 45 degree angle.
