I would imagine that getting about 40 knots (or more) of relative wind
across the flight deck would be essential to operating a C-130.  Any
carrier performing that evolution would certainly be upgraded from 
"Chicken

Farm" to "Turkey Farm" by the escorting small boys (Cruisers and
Destroyers)

I found the C-2 catapult launch from Enterprise quite disorienting, at least
in the passenger area in back.  The C-2 COD (carrier onboard delivery) is
essentially an E-2 Hawkeye without the radome.  Like most military passenger
setups (not jump seats), the seats face aft and there are no windows.   The
catapult delivered about 5g's, which is interesting when you are facing
backwards, "hanging" in the straps, with no visual reference.  My earlier
C-1 COD flights off Kittyhawk were much less violent but those boats sure
look tiny from the air.  Both of those carriers are now "retired".  I feel
old.

Re: [MBZ] The Most Dangerous Job in the World

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

When one reviews the encyclopedic range of accomplishments by the C-130 
Hercules and its valiant aircrews over the years, surely one of the most 
astounding took place in October 1963 when the U.S. Navy decided to try to land 
a Hercules on an aircraft carrier. Was it possible? Who would believe that the 
big, four-engine C-130 with its bulky fuselage and 132-foot wing span could 
land on the deck of a carrier?

Not only was it possible, it was done in moderately rough seas 500 miles out in 
the North Atlantic off the coast of Boston. In so doing, the airplane became 
the largest and heaviest aircraft to ever land on an aircraft carrier, a record 
that stands to this day.

Military videos are not a favorite for me - too much equipment for
violence or sadness in life to be lost, fire power... all that.  But
this seemed interesting.  Did WILTON ever do this type of flight?  It
was said that these guys are usually only 20 years old and the jobs
appear to be very responsible positions.
