The 130J isn't set up for Jato. Those Dowty props and RR engines really

toss
it in the air without it though!

I can't speak of the distance that a Jato C-130D took since it was on snow
(skibird) but you tried to bounce the nose into the air at about 60kts.
When the ski cleared, it emmediately popped to about 90kts and you popped
the 8 jato bottles and were airborne and going up. That is got to be the
hairiest ride ever.
