The mighty C130... this plane can reverse its ‘props’ after landing to slow itself down for a short runway or take off with JATO rockets... Thanks FM

I flew a couple of times in a C130. Years ago we flew from Gerogia to Virgina and of course my branch of military service require we wear heavy wool clothing on a 95 degree summer day. Several of us were waiting under the wing to escape the sun when a liquid began to fall from the body of the plane. We commented ‘oh great its not even flying and something is wrong with the plane’. Then a E2 came rushing out with a noncom behind him saying he should never use the ‘pee’ tube on the ground....
