From Strange Cosmos


In a test of the venerable and versatile C-130's suitability to support the Navy, a C-130F was equipped with an antiskid braking system and landed on the U.S.S. Forrestal. Footage courtesy Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company. We also have a companion Sighting of the Hercules taking off from the Forrestal. What comes down must go up.
