GOOSE BAY, CANADA | C-130J LANDING - 4K

- Got a chance to fly some supplies up to Thule Air Base in Greenland and needed to stop for gas on the way. Got to experience the bright and sunny yet cold of Goose Bay in winter!
The airplane is a USAF Lockheed C-130J-30 Hercules.
About the flight suits:
We are wearing two-piece Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) Nomex Flight Suits. Same general cut and pattern as the single-piece green flight suits. Choice of which to wear is up to the individual. I personally find having pants and taking the top off while pushing pallets in hot and humid climates during an Engine Running Onload to be more comfortable. Less of a status uniform and more of a utility uniform. But it's all personal preference and many still prefer the old PJs. Gloves are nearby (my pocket) but not required in flight.

My father landed a B-24 at this base October 25,1944 en route to ETO. The aircraft was shot down over Budapest on Dec 2 with all lives lost. My father was assigned to a different base and flew missions until V-E Day.
My Father was stationed at Goose Bay 73-78 and as a Air Force Brat I can remember going to bed it was about 55 degrees that evening and the next morning we had to climb out the second story window to shovel snow just to get out the front door we had 215 inches of snow that week that is 17 ft of snow in 1978 and 1977 was just a little bit less !!! If I remember right it was the one of the highest recorded snow falls ever recorded at Goose Bay and it was -23 degrees ! Some great memories back then !
Former Navy pilot, '60's and '70's. Really enjoy your videos and look forward to each one. You guys do an excellent job, really admire you. The technology is so much more advanced today, we flew without computers or GPS (I actually used a sextant to navigate). All four of the birds I flew are in museums (and I probably belong there with them). Keep up the good work. I so admire your professionalism. Please keep the videos coming!
I remember flying in from Denmark over the Atlantic in a C-130 having to land in Goose Bay because of engine trouble. Beautiful country 😊
You make awesome videos. I am 63 and have never flown in a plane
Watching this video from Goose Bay! Great job, guys.
My family was stationed there from 1968 to about 1970. Cool place but wish I was a little older back then. So much to explore.
When I was in the US Air Force I made 4 trips across the Atlantic as a crew chief on a C-130 Three went through Goose Bay and 1 through Charleston, SC.
This J-Model is a sweet aircraft. The new pilot has potential. Both of you keep up the good work and stay focused. Go Army.
I was stationed there many years ago 1973-1974 in the RAF. Our hangar was the one with the control tower on its roof and there it still sits. Gives me a rather sad feeling to see it. We had Vulcans and Victors in that hangar during the year. All quiet and gone now but never forgotten.
I did 72/73 Canadian side .Brilliant posting.
The old tower and hangar burnt down just a couple days ago.
@@aborealforest That''s beyond sad, considering its history. It turns out that I was right to nab lots of photos of it while I was there in 73-74 and during the past year, from youtube screen captures.
Great job been there many times back in the 1967-69 crew chief C-130e.
I spent a month there one week. In December. Good ole Duck Pin Bowling.
Such a fun trip, just a bit cold 🥶 Great video
Fascinating. Curious what that quick/big up elevator “excursion” was on the rollout…I guess a gust? And the quick back-stick senior pilot correction at touchdown was fun to see. I fly a 1946 Aeronca Champ (65-hp taildragger, handprop it) so seeing a big guy land with a slight right crosswind was very interesting, as well as the careful taxi on snow/ice watching wingtips and snow banks. I fly out of KVAY (near Joint Base McGuire) in NJ, year round, so in my tiny way I have often taxied on not-fully-cleared taxiway/ramp, occasionally after a rare big snowfall watching wingtips for snowbanks. My instructor while I was a student transitioning from grass to concrete (i.e., from 3-pointers to wheel landings) was a former B-52/C-130/airline pilot, currently a Super Decathalon aerobatic instructor. What an aviator! Thanks for the great work you guys do!
I wondered about the excursion too. Gust seems a good explanation.
Amazing as always, thank you so much! it will be cool if you can show us the HUD somehow
Awesome video. I’m the tower controller that you are speaking to in the video lol. Hopefully we get a chance to speak again soon.
Would always love to!
Awesome Sir. Thank you for sharing. Thank you and your crew for all that you do.
Great video as usual. I like that we get to see you training the young pilots. Really nice insight as to how you operate in the crew environment. Thanks again for sharing this with us. Like I have mentioned to you before, as a former crew chief on the Herc, this is very cool to see.
Outstanding! Cant wait to see more of your EU flights
Nice to see spring in Goosebay 40 below is warm I have seen 50 below as a high at times. Stationed their in 1966 to 67. We had to fly C119 in and out to go on leave.
Keep the videos coming as a former C130 LM with 2500 hours in the A's and E's it's great content. CMsgt retired.
Now you are in the Co-pilot seat doing the best training ever? A giant W in the sky ahead? Oh, just a dirty windshield...Is the ATC guy speaking to you from India?? Wow, hello, 12:44 sure got everyone's attention. Great videos, please keep them coming. The sounds and sights of freedom
Great Videos. I was stationed at Hanscom and Pope. Always loved seeing the big guys taking off and landing.
Spent more than a few Reforger TDY's there in the 70's and 80's. Went up in Feb once to change an engine Hyd pump. Motored the engine inside the hangar to ops check it, it was so cold outside. Good memories.
My brother was born there in 1972. I was like five years old. My dad was aviation supply the base at the time it was a SAC.base.
Been there - landed that. Oct 89
Absolutely beautiful video! Keep up the good work!
Man,, I’m an Iraqi Air Force J-model flight instructor and I love that CRM great job.. also why loadmaster wanna give us the same pain of that Aux pumps noise!! 😂
I've been there when I was a flight engineer on the C-130
Great piece of work. Thanks for posting.
Man, that's an icy ramp and taxiway! Just remember to pump the brakes. 😂
Cold is cold in Labrador!
These videos are great man.
Thanks. Need another trip or some flights without students to make some more...
@@ReachAviation hopefully you can take a hop to eglin for one reason or another and who doesn’t need a couple of days in florida! My brother just PCS’d there from Kadena.
I spent 3 years at Goose, saw 60 below with 90 below wind chill
Great Vid!! Especially the ATC and the onscreen explanations . Keep them comming
That's a far cry from the wx in Abilene. Yikes, too cold for me!
Speaking of cold temperatures, it dipped fairly cold there recently. I don't know the true temperature but I know that school was closed last week because the temperature was below-40° c st least on one morning (late February 2023). Eeek!
Woodward FBO in Goose has great service for such a remote airport
Been done that!
Great vid! When you stop at the gas station have them clean the windshield, I thought the smudge mark on the window was a smoke plume for a while lol.
Ha i think it would have immediately frozen at -30C.
Enjoy these sweet flights while they last. You might find yourself in Del Rio sooner rather than later...
Spent 10 years trying not to.
God gave y’all a nut check clearing the runway there. Good thing your seats weren’t too close. 😂
Good evening to all from SE Louisiana 17 Apr 22.
12:40 wooooo! lol
Love your comment: "Shut that shit!" 😁🤣😂
I wondered what happened at 12:45 when the yoke snapped back like that
Wind gust.
Did you like flying the 135 or the 130 more? Could you comment on what its like to fly for AMC vs PACAF? Just generally curious. Thanks for the vid!
I enjoyed both for different reasons. The 130 is a blast to fly. The 135 was nice for the speed. I did an actual operational job (worked with outside users) near every ride in the 135, even local training flights. I miss that. A trip doing my job outside of training is refreshing in the 130.
No experience in PACAF, just happened to fly there more often in the 135 through TACC.
@@ReachAviation thanks for the reply, there is a definite lack of good military cockpit videos on RUclips with this kind of quality and comms! Have any buds with stuff like this in a C-17? 😉
spent 18 months there during the cold war, it is not nice in summer very hot and lots ol bugs. Nice to visit but you don't want to live there.
When and why did copilots start flying left seat? Y'all sure have to push a lot more buttons than we did in the E model.
When was the actual filming date? I only ask because I fly crews to the radar sites out of Goose Bay, and was at the airport on April 1st. Although there was a "REACH" in while I was there, the weather was a lot nicer than observed in the video. This seems more like late February or early March.
Excellent point and I was thinking exactly the same thing. It's usually much nicer weather there by the first of April each year. Thoroughly enjoyed this video and missing "home" so much although, Goose Bay is my second home, but it's where I consider "home" as most of my family still live there.
Seeing a plane without PFD since it is equipped with HUD makes it look futuristic like Avatar movie
Anyway, are US C130 pilot flying with BDU and no longer using overall?
Its a two piece flight suit (looks similar to OCP but isnt). Essentially the same design as the single piece. We can wear either the single piece flight suit or the two piece.
AC in the right seat because you are an IP or does the PF usually sit in the left seat?
We can sit in either seat. Him sitting in the left seat was for experience.
Bit of a floater.
What happened at 12:44? A gust?
Yeah just a big gust of wind hit the elevator.
Glad you asked, I was.....
pilot monitoring must have at least one hand in the yoke.
@@BALTAZARFAP while taxying? You sure?
how come, comander is in right seat ? .. is that military rule .. where is the steering wheel then ?
Steering wheel is on the left. Left seat pilot has it. Not a rule just training and experience building.
No flight engineer on the J model?
Nope.
You do know how Canada was named? To determine a name for the country, the prime minister got up before parliament with a fishbowl filled with slips of paper. Each slip had a consonant on it. The PM reached into the bowl and pulled out each slip:
“C, eh. N, eh. D, eh.”
That joke is no worse than the yoke swinging back on you guys. What was up with that?
Gotta save all your jokes for my next trip! Need something funny for the long flight!
Goose Bay is weak, nothing to do except sit in your hotel room and look at each other. St. John's is where all the fun is down on George Street.
The bulldog club the Canadian mess and sgts club and the American large club. The Germans kept to themselves.I was there in the hay day ,many moons ago,then years later when the base was different closing a bit.
What happened to the yoke?
A strong gust of wind.
