I'm thinking its a civilian version of the C130? I lived on a lot of Air Force bases with my family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsosdrummer Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I used to live under the takeoff pattern a few miles from an ANG base that flew C130s. LOVED that Allison turboprop sound! The ANG unit disbanded around 1990 and I really missed hearing that rumble several times a day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the civilian version is supposed to do what? Straight transport? Joy riding? Weightlessness training? Scaring little kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
