Armstrong, William J. II. Title. VG93.G7627 1997 359.94’0973—dc21 96–37481 CIP I quote in part: 1963 8 November During 8, 21 and 22 November, Lieutenant James H. Flatley III, and his crew members, Lieutenant Commander Smokey Stovall and ADJ1 Ed Brennan, made 21 full-stop landings and takeoffs in a C-130F Hercules on board Forrestal. From this test the Navy concluded that the C-130 could carry 25,000 pounds of cargo and personnel 2,500 miles and land on a carrier. However, the C-130 was considered too risky for use in routine COD operations. ***** Thus clarifying both cargo capacity, number of takeoffs and landings, and the a/c model. The above work is available in .pdf format on the Navy Historical Center web site. Dave in San Diego |
