That's nice, great to see some nice footage from the fight deck. Also, are C-130 and P-3 close by engineering aspects? Both lockheed products, a assume that are about time for the first Hercules types..... how much changes for you operating both machines?
Thanks, Danilo! They are similar; people say they’re cousins (same manufacturer, same power plant, effectively & about the same era), but I say they are very distant cousins! Operationally, there are some differences in limitations, but the procedures are significantly different. Thanks for watching!
@@UnusualAttitudes Ten great years on a civilian Herc. Really enjoyed it. I was waiting for NASA to get one when I was at Dryden, but retirement came before it happened. Enjoy it, and remember, the airplane can be flown without talking to it, just like the DC-8 and SOFIA.😃
happy fly

Prop control from the flight station is different between the two. P-3 has chips lights, C-130 do not.
Since when did NASA aquire two C-130's?
How did I ever fly the Herc without all that talking going on?
I dunno- sounds to me that you were missing out, Manny!!
Thanks for watching!
