I shall finish the game, Doc. -

I don't know about the J, but the C130's can land and take of from an air craft carrier. No hook, no catapult. VERY cool plane. IIRC, their props invert providing reverse thrust. I've been to the Marietta plant and the production line. It's a VERY cool plant.Originally posted by onemeangixxer7502 View PostOriginally posted by Taya Kyle, American GunComment

Why is he talking so much?
Edit: It that the pilot and co-pilot talking back and forth?"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have."

I believe so. I am no pilot but I would imagine flying like that you would need a separate pair of eyes and ears to look at your gauges and keep you in a safe zone.Originally posted by slow06 View PostOriginally posted by Cmarsh93zComment
