"Iwan Bogels" wrote in message ... Check out http://www.dappa.nl/crash.htm This video is about a (then) highly classified project to land a C-130 at a soccer field, and get it back airborne from the same field with even more load than during landing. The landing test caused the Herc to virtually hover over the site, and the video is almost inbelieveble. It isn't mentioned on the site or in the video, but this wasn't just some experiment to see how short a C-130 can land. The goal was to get in and out of a sports stadium in Teheran to rescue the American hostages held in Iran in 1979-1980. |
