Yes I live a couple miles down the bay from Quonset airfield & air national guard is constantly training & practicing landings & quick ascent maneuvers with the two C130's stationed there.

Emergency takeoff procedure is to hold the nose down and keep it on the runway until V2 (flight speed) is reached, then pull back and climb at 45 degrees. I don't know of any other aircraft you can do that with, everything else would be out of runway long before it got to V2. The amusing thing about them is that they were intended as a stop-gap item "until the jets were ready". I believe they entered service in 1954, but I could be wrong For some strange reason they are still in service -- a friend of mine's daughter was flying them for the Alaska National Guard before she graduated to jets. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
