Hi !

I just saw a picture of a C-130 Hercules on the deck of a Carrier !!
The picture seems to be from around the 70s, no other planes else on
deck. No other description was provided, it was on an image board ...

Is this a nice fake or was this ever possible ?

Surely that Herc would have needed JATO to get off that carrier .
Speaking of which do Hercs (with the exception of fat albert) still
use JATOS Four turning and Eight burning ?

Not only did it not require JATO for takeoff, it took off from its
stopping point on the landing.

40 knots of wind over the deck undoubtedly helped.
