In 1980 three C-130s were planned for modification in the most curious fashion in order to participate in the rescue of American hostages in Tehran.

It's still surprising when the c130 actually had a set of rockets attached to it that help let it fly much faster
This plan sounds like something straight out of kerbal space program
Can confirm
No kidding, i have used separators to gain speed faster off runways :-D
Okay, now bigger rockets for VTOL capabilities
When i tried to create a large base on the pole i used a plane to go their
In one launch. i can try and make a plane who is capable of lifting off but its just i had no time amd energy left so i just strapped 2 large solid rocket boosters and when i gained altitude i ejected them.
Didnt make it tho.
I was thinking the exact same thing too!
This is one of the most American things I’ve heard
“Strap some rockets on it and call it good”
basically
I just imagine someone saying "Slap some rockets on it" like it's Flex Tape
the c130 was kerbalized.
Sounds German but ok....
@@sooryan_1018 true
Ah yes, Project Credible Sport, the plan to mount retro-rockets onto C-130's that never went beyond the prototype stage that could've revolutionized modern warfare
Incorrect, the Blue Angels C-130 has demoed the technique many times.
@@ScarriorIII thanks because that’s new technology, this video isnt talking about that
V-22 Osprey would've been perfect for this operation. Unfortunately it would take 24 years from then for it to be adopted.
Yes they use this at a Fort Smith Arkansas air Show 20 years ago.. called Fat Albert

Love it, I fly the Herk as a flight engineer for a living. Our airplanes aren’t quite as cool as this beast, we’re just transport. I love to see the public enthusiasm for the Herk, warms my lil’ heart.
@RUclips Security Squad The Herc has been around for a long time, and will be with us for a long time to come. When the last F22 and F35 are flown to the Bone yard a C 130 will take the pilots back to their home station.

When my dad got transferred to Turkey from 1980-82, as enlisted USAF, our family had to fly from Germany to Turkey, then back; on a C-130. On the way back, I was old enough, and still remember, getting to go up to the cockpit mid-flight. That is one of the greatest memories of my life.

The British tried this in ww2 for heavily loaded bombers, it worked on a truck, so they tried it on a short Stirling 4 engined heavy bomber. However they were too powerful and it cartwheeled off the runway causing the gear to collapse.
I accidentally met a guy from operation desert claw while waiting at a pharmacy in San Diego in 02. He started talking to me and I didn't want to be rude. By the end, it was about an hour waiting. He was a navy corpsman and it was fascinating. I was too young to know anything about it and hearing his story made me look it up. Omg what a s show! If Murphy could personally apply his law, he did it there. That's some history that needs to be remembered
Had the V-22 Osprey been introduced in 1980, Operation Eagle Claw would have gotten a better chance of success.
My uncle was in the airforce during Vietnam. He told me about a pilot that dropped his c-130, at a steep angle, onto an over ran airfield to rescue a few men. He picked em up under fire, dodged an RPG during take off, and from what I understand got out without taking a hit.

@@Boypogikami132 idk.
The concept still exists. The AC-130 called "Fat Albert" for the US Navy Blue Angels has rockets. They need them for assisted takeoff due to the weight of the aircraft when fully loaded with the squadron's cargo. It's not always needed, but they do use em when necessary. Plus the takeoff is awesome to see at an air show.

Go watch the classic action movie “The Delta Force” with Chuck Norris, it’s a great movie with this exact C130
Not exactly (as the ones in the film only had the rocket boosters in the rear à la Fat Albert), but the scene leaves an amazing impression no less (especially Alan Silvestri's theme!)
Delta farce is a great movie too

VTOL at the base:
I saw something similar on MiG-21, it's called SPRD-99 / RATO system and it was used for take off on a short runway. You still need to land normally at about 300 km/h (or about 190 m/h), but it served well.
There have been tons of JATO/RATO aircraft going back to 1946s.

The problem as that, well, rockets are h o t and h o t means that the fuel might go *b o o m*
Nah, *b o o m* just means "spontaneous propulsion", exactly what this plane needs lol
That was taken into account. The rocket exhaust area was coated in ablative heat resistant coatings. CS II may still have it on the fuselage, it looks like a very runny paint job.
Rocket propulsion is just a continuous, controlled explosion

Regean didn't have anything to do with the Iranian Hostage situation. He was only president literally minutes when the hostages were released.
I was thinking the same thing. Carter’s administration negotiated their release, thru the Algiers Accords, which was signed the day before Reagan took office.
@@flarvin8945 the hostage takers actually waited until Regean was sworn in to release the hostages just to smear Carter.
Yea, Regan's commit about turning Iran into a parking lot had nothing to do with it.
@@demonprinces17 anyone with a brain knew that was BS. Reagan was not going to nuke or even go to war with Iran, too much oil at risk. The Iranians wanted their overseas accounts & shah’s assets unlocked. Reagan had nothing to do with the negotiations.

Wasn’t this a c130
me playing KSP: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!
What most people dont know is that another program was going on as a backup for this attempt. A bunch of OH 6 aircraft were being modified by the Army National Guard depots to strengthen the OH 6 to carry one ranger and a pilot. A hook was mounted on the belly for the ranger to hang from after putting as many of the hostages in as possible and then taking off. I have seen info about this operation before , but nothing about the other project. Might come to light one day.

Some dark but legit funny humor to the failed Eagle Claw operation was one of the Delta operators actually was sound asleep on that C-130 that got crashed into, waking up to the plane on fire. He didn't even hesitate to just jump out the nearest door, not bothering for a parachute to to check what he was jumping into (thankfully it hadn't left the ground so he suffered minor injuries). When another operator asked him what he planned to do after jumping like he did, he replied "One problem at a time, Eric, one problem at a time." Only good to come of the failed attempt was the creation of special fireproof suits for the operators and the creation of the 160th SOAR Wing for special forces to work with as the Navy choppers where the main problem.
That's a sweet end scene ♥
