The approach from the Blue Mountains gave a spectacular veiw of Kingston and St. Andrew. Memories, saw the entire community of Portmore and Rodney's Arms from an entirely different perspective perfectly
I love the C-130. My father flew one during the Viet Nam war, and he always told me it was his favorite plane after having 1000's of hours in B47's and B 52's. Thanks for sharing. Felix
Felix, thanks for watching! I would believe it. It's a great plane. Responds instantly and flies on rails when trimmed up. No dutch roll issues like the swept wing 47, 52 and 135. As long as you dont mind flying hundreds of knots slower!
Favourite aircraft, the FIRST AIRCRAFT I EVER SAW REVERSING, UP TO A BUILDING WAS IN 1966,KINGSTON JAMAICA WI, it belonged to DELTA AIRLINES, whom carried freight using them, I was returning to USA,,having a few with an uncle,when all that NOISE STARTED, so it was a C130 , I managed to go through Chanel’s to get a ride in one @ JAX FLA years. Ago,still a GREAT PLANE , STAY WELL,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My new favorite channel. I have 87 jumps out of C-130's love this bird. This new "J' variant is just badass! Flight Sim needs to add this to their list of airframes to fly. Keep up the good work you guy's and be safe ! RLTW & AATW!!!!
Wow! Beautiful landing on a beautiful day. Set that thing down like a feather on a baby's backside. The country looks awesome! So that's where that good coffee comes from? Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Riding in C-130s of late (J models) I am curious why y’all put the engines in low idle before you park the plane as opposed to coming to a stop and then going to low idle before engine shutdown? Excellent video!!
Going into low speed for a few minutes allows them to cool before shut down reducing wear. It also reduces thrust and makes it easier to taxi without putting wear on the brakes or constantly having two in reverse.
nice video,,,remember to increase the dim of the displays CMDU´s in order to not see them flashing by waves in the video. those are the same CMDU than C27J spartan
We are all in flight suits still but the new two piece Army Aircrew Combat Uniforms. Still the flight suit pattern, just cut at the waist. Works well when its hot/cold and youre pushing cargo. Overall a better uniform for utility use in my opinion. Not everyone agrees and the green single piece is still worn by a lot of people.

@@ReachAviation Don't mind the slower speed. I also think it is fantastic to be able to back up.
It is fun and useful!
fancy glass cockpit!
Would you lookit that! My house is a few miles to the northwest of the runway’s west approach. I probably watched y’all!
..right by the jetway, straight into the Terminal bar. Niiiiice!!
theres nothing like the sounds of the Hercules!
Jamaica is so green so beautiful 🌴🌴🌴🤩
4 years flying the E/H. 7 Years flying the J. Love that airplane. On to the airlines now-a-days but truly loved flying the J.
It's a beauty seeing these guys flying.
Its fun to fly.
Tell me you really called the spoilers “flippies”! If true, I LOVE THAT! I laughed till I cried!!
Ayeee my home country! Miss that place! Thanks for sharing, man!
The old 40th AS!
Greased that landing. I love the upgraded avionics.
He did a great job. Gotta keep it smooth when pretending to do that airline thing.
@@ReachAviation my dad worked for Lockheed Ga for 32 years. He was part of the C130’s C141 C5A L1011.

Beautiful scenery. I love the C-130
It is gorgeous down there for sure!!!
"Towwa, wha gwan? Iron bird soon-come..." How many seeing this vid remember that? A decade retired from 29 yrs. flying cargo around there.
Lot of Breadfruit there so delicious 😋😀🌺
Learning a lot from your channel. This has provided me a lot of insight into how both of you work together as a cohesive unit.

Great flight I enjoyed 😊 happy to see the land of my birth.
Very cool guys.. thanks!
That’s cool, getting parked near a terminal instead of on a very big ramp.
How sweet.
Great series of videos , makes you feel like you are in the cockpit along with the pilots. Really enjoying all your videos. Keep them coming! Thanks!
I love Jamaica!!!
So awesome
Amazing Video!! Great Account!!

Beautiful Landing 👍
Amazing video...Very well filmed! I was reading the comments and replies...if u don't mind my asking what is an MRT pickup?
Maintenance Repair Team. Had a bird that broke out there. We brought in the part and support to get it fixed and brought home.
Nice. When I was part of a repair team I only went to places like Fallon, and Fort Benning.
Thank you so much Captain 🙏🤩💖
What are the odds there's a chip light or some other "failure" upon departure here? Also, that per diem though...
The damn circuit breakers always pop at the "worst" times.
I just climbed out from under a rock. I have never seen the cockpit of a C-130J-30. Now I have. I die on this hill.
Been there done that!

@@ReachAviation thanks for that explanation! I always appreciate learning something new about aviation.
Reminds me of Isla Nubar from Jurassic Park
Kinda does doesnt it!

I try to remember for my side. Dont always get the other side!
Gorgeous video. How old is the captain?
ground really just said "welcome, go the gate"
They did. Guess its the standard, i just had never been there before.
Jumped out of 40 of them. Loved it...
Great content, thanks for posting! Just noticed no flight suit wear? Is that pretty standard uniform for flight?
We are all in flight suits still but the new two piece Army Aircrew Combat Uniforms. Still the flight suit pattern, just cut at the waist. Works well when its hot/cold and youre pushing cargo. Overall a better uniform for utility use in my opinion. Not everyone agrees and the green single piece is still worn by a lot of people.
@@ReachAviation ah ok thanks for that info and for quick reply!
Good job 👏🏽🇯🇲🔥🔥🔥🔥
“We’re basically a seven thirty seven” Nice 😀😉 Awesome video as always.
TACC better not send me here (home). Alpha 3 needing an MRT
Very nice! Jamaica is a beautiful Country. Most visitors never leave the resort so they never see the real Jamaica.
We spent the night in downtown Kingston but i wish we had the chance to see more.
Not me noticing the Samsung ring tone over atc at 6:44 🤣
Hi - why Jamaica? Did the wife at breakfast ask you to pick up a bottle of Rum and you thought " I will just pop down and get a bottle"
Great flight
And I'm over here thinking parallel parking is tough. Jeez
Dunno, thats pretty tough.
Why is the AC not wearing a Flight Suit?
Both pilots are wearing two piece OCP flight suits. Same cut with the same pockets and what not as the singles.
Have you landed in Belize before?
I havent
Thank you for protecting our freedoms.
Is this the weekly flight from GTMO?
We had 4 or 5 stops around the gulf on that ride including an MRT pickup.
Did they try to move the jetway up to the entrance door? 😂😂😂
Would be cool if we got the jetway!
Bringing supplies?
Moving people supplies and repair parts.
@@ReachAviation I swear I went to the wrong branch twice now lol.
Can I use this footage for personal use?
I mean, you can watch it on here whenever you would like.
@@ReachAviation Just trying to use 5 seconds of the landing of the plane on the runway for a trip to Jamaica video
🌟🌟🌟
Are the pilots 12 years old?😆😆😆
