- Every pilot needs to work on their landings. Even more so when putting a large aircraft on a small LZ.

I spent 3 years of my life bouncing around that pattern at KDYS as a teenage loadmaster in the original H models back in the early 80's. The C-130J is a different breed entirely. Fun to watch!
Damn, I never realized how good of a view you get out of the C-130 cockpit.
This was really freaky. My dad was a C130J pilot in the British Royal Air Force from 87’ to 2005 and this dude here is the spitting image of him when he was young!
I was the hisorian for the 463rd from 1987 to 90 and again 93 before I became the 7th Wing HO until I retired in 96. Flew tons of CATs, LAPES, and CDS sorties on the old grass and dirt strips. God did I have fun on those LAPES missions standing in the troop door. Talk about an uplifting experince watching those cutes pop, plane jump up, those rollers spin like hell! I wrote Abilene Airlifters as my "swan song" in the AF History program. Whoop!
Great seeing what the Flight Crews see. I wish there was a video (or in those days film) of our approach and "assault landing" into Camp Radcliff, An Khe, RVN in May 1970. The US had invaded Cambodia, trying to shut down the many pathways called the Ho Chi Minh Trail. I was returning from R&R in the back of a C-130. We could sense something was not normal as our altitude was much higher and our approached was backwards. We were going the opposite direction from usual. Then the Pilot dropped the right wing and the view out of the little port hole windows went from blue sky to brown and green earth, with barracks and roads flashing by. It seemed like we pivoted into a dropping U-turn, which lined us up to the runway. They had executed an amazing 180 degree final turn all above our base. Felt the flair and immediately a rather hard landing, compared to normal. Fast deceleration and another U-turn and the Load Master began sliding pallets off the rear ramp as we slowed down to an abrupt stop. Big rush to get us off! No sooner than we had exited off the ramp, turned to the right, walking toward the Air Force's airport "hootch," than the Pilot blasted us with prop-wash as they sped toward the far end of the field. They made a fast U-turn, spun around and came back toward us. Amazing climb and I guess he was probably a couple of hundred feet above ground when the C-130 crossed the perimeter line. Turns out while the US Army sent the main war-makers to Cambodia, the VC had stayed put and were shelling Camp Radcliff a lot. The kid in the AF "hootch" called it a "hot stop.": He told the few of us flying in that day, "You guys were lucky to get in. We've been closed for days." Was he kidding? It would have been OK with me to have stayed in Hawaii or even Guam a few days until they sorted this all out! Ah, Army life. Thanks for the memories. Loved those C-130's!
as an B738 airline pilot from Germany I find the communication with pilot/copilot kinda funny :D and unusual. good CRM! Always keep cheering the First Officer up :) You know that we all started once.
Who needs a Fighter when you have the 130’s....lots of fun.......Thanks guy for sharing your bird with us.......Thank You for your Service too....
Excellent show of the C-130 for landing/takoff''s on any surface in any conditions and some runways even shorter than that.
Glad they have a real and qualified competent pilot !!!
My dad was c130 driver and we spent quite a few years at Dyess. We were there when the first B1 was delivered....now I feel old!
I remember beating up the pattern doing assault landings at Little Rock AFB between '89 and '92 as a navigator in the E models. After a long hot day of low level training it was kind of fun to sit back and watch the pilots get a workout.
As a retired USAF controller with loads of experience with parallel rwys and and an LZ (RANGB, yes, a long time ago!), I have to say that this is one of the best videos I have ever seen that truly captures the pilots "critical phases of flight" and why we are taught to never "bother" the pilots during these phases of flight! I don't know if it is still practiced but we used to be given "FAM" flights to get a better understanding of what pilots are going through and how busy the cockpit can get when in these critical phases of flight and what the airfield/pattern look like. This video could easily be used to supplement the FAM flights because of the detail/crew coordination. At one point when the C-130 was cleared for takeoff with an acft on a 5 mile final, the pilots of the C-130 made a comment about two aircraft being cleared at the same time. We called it anticipated separation but for me personally, I maybe would have had the pilot on final initially "continue" with the reason why however I was not there. The controllers on duty know what is going on and I personally do not feel there was anything wrong as they anticipated the separation would exist when the arriving acft crossed the threshold. Again, one of the best potential training videos I have ever seen - outstanding job to all!
Awesome, the way the ground suddenly rushes up towards you as you come in to land looks freaky as hell!
Essential skills! Had to land on Kandahar taxiway because the main runway was closed by a crashed drone. Amazing video!
Had a 130 doing these at Fort Drum while I was doing some pattern work in an AH-64. Pretty funny as we do our patterns at 90 ktas so as soon as we turned base as the 130 was on final, we touched down for whatever maneuver we were doing, we would have to take off and make an immediate crosswind turn since the 130 was already almost base again. Pretty cool to see how much these things bank
Thanks for uploading this video, I absolutely love watching these, I grew up on maxwell Air Force base and got to watch c-130’s all the time, one of my favorite planes out there, plus being in the cockpit watching the pilots fly is always fun to watch.
The Gulfstream style HUD for the pilot blows my 1975 C-130 riding old loadmasters mind? Real cool 👍🦅
Thanks for a wonderful ride ! (With actual comm and without any music!) .A nice catch guys ,👍.
This is definitely cool to watch. Great team, working together.
I was standing exactly in the camera's POV once at Cam Ranh Bay once, in a C-130E while the pilot made an assault landing. Although it's been 50 years, it's something I remember very well.
