I’ve worked in the military aircraft defense industry most of my life and pretty much seen it all and, nowadays hard to impress me BUT, this is emphatically without question one hell of an aircraft! WOW !!! Way to go Lockheed.
one of my customers was an instructor pilot for the then reflectone. he took four of us up and let us do some touch and goes @ Miami. full motion simulator. was pre-J model. had a private multi so it felt comfortable. one of life's highlights, love the aircraft.
In the 60,s, I worked on C130's as a Nav Aids repairman in the Air force. Great airplane then, even better now. As an acquaintance and friend of Dale's, from hot air ballooning in Albuquerque, it was a surprise and a pleasure to see him on a utube video. Our best to you and "Cat". Mike T and Dale J
There’s a reason why the C-130J owns the market, and it ain’t flashy unfounded promises. The aircraft just flat-out performs. Anytime, anywhere, any condition
Last mile in, first mile out. Surprised that made it through the filming take and editing. Still a great video. We know what you mean which is all that matters.
Crewed the last C-130A 56-551 assigned to the 374th Tactical Airlift Wing out of Naha on April 28th, 1971, all the way to Nashville TN. "Airsick and Scared, we flew the A Model"
I probably have said something about this Video already but i Really Love this Plane and I have Lived it in the Forces up to the C130J Variant and it is such a Forgiving Aeroplane and as Hard as Nails, Putting her down on Remote strips with Relief for Many in need of such is just one thing I love doing in the C130 and People say when they see this Bird coming and their awaiting much needed support, They know it's bringing that Relief in no matter what Form Needed. One of the Lockheed Unsung Heroes of Aviation..
During air show, I boarded a static C-130, I never forget how huge the flight deck is, it is so roomy .. you can get up and walk around to stretch your legs.
I had a similar experience. On the other hand I was in 3rd grade, so everything looked roomy. That was in 1958. That’s one hell of a lifespan for an aircraft.
Sir, you are a good teacher. I didn't think I had an airplane capable brain except that I love and respect them. That was neat info. I am in awe when I see these! Thank you to all who fly, teach & do maintenance on these!
Roger that... whether air-land or airdrop (I've jumped from C-130s dozens of times), I believe it has no equal among prop-driven lift aircraft of its size. It has been consistently reliable in combat operations rain or shine over the jungle, desert, and everything in between. After almost seventy years in the inventory it just gets better. My heart felt thanks to those pilots and crew who have accomplished seemingly "impossible" missions in support of combat operations. Thank you.
After working Avionics on C-130J for 10 years and my last update of the software was version 5.4 it should be interesting to see what the differences are with version 8.4 or 8.5 or whatever it is up to.
I see a bunch of new little, but important features in the HUD, good job. I saw some other cool features I'm not going to talk about :) Retirement is nice but I miss working on the J
Very old (But Updated) Joke: When the last C17, F15, F16, F/A18, F22, B1, B2, & B21 Lands at the Bone Yard. A B-52(?) will be Flying Over And, the Crew of that B-52 will watch each Aircraft's Crew Step abroad a C-130(?) to go Home.
This isoneof the best Military transport plane and a Militaty Gunship plane, it was operated since Vietnam war. I sawthia plane ever since I was Boy in 1965.
And that’s the C-130 J. It’ll be available from next week in Space Gray, Midnight, and the new Olive Drab. Just kidding. Always had a soft spot for Herks.
Has a civilian that doesn't know anything about flying. Is it bad that I understand what is being explained to me here as far as what this aircraft can do its capabilities and what it takes to do it. Much much easier than the current political environment and voting system that we have😢. Nice aircraft. ❤
Thé c130j is à proven machine but slighly expansive. In the other the kc 390 has more range much payload capacity,quiqcker and cheaper than c130j That makes it a winner in m'y opinion
You think they are LOUD come to Niceville, FL and listen to the F-35's takeoff every morning at 8:00 AM you may change your mind. I worked on the old C-130B/E model's for about 16 years, I would rather have C-130's fly over my house than those noisy F-35's.
@@bradleyludwig2242 Yea I bet the 35s are loud. I was thinking of when I was in Danang in '68 and we had to load the 130s with one engine running. We had no ear protection and I think I ruined my hearing during that year. The F-4s were ear splitting but they were about 75 yards away.

Flight Engineer Holdaway is my dad 🥰 He's been working on these planes his entire career. I've heard countless stories of him flying the C-130 ❤
nice!
good to see your dad loves fighting for trans rights for Angolan kids.

👍
@@sneedsfeed757What on earth are you talking about? Are you promoting sex changes for children?
From Crew Chief to Flight Engineer to Pilot on the B, E, and H model. Greatest memories of my life. Fantastic plane.
My father was a C130B pilot back in 1960s...it was a beautiful aircraft....still love that plane...
The C130 is the grunt of the airlift world. Supporting U.S. troops all around the world, thank you Super Herc.
Excellent presentation from a man who truly loves his aircraft. Proud to call him my friend.
Outstanding summary of why the C-130J owns the Tactical Airlift Dynasty!

My dad worked at the Marietta Lockheed plant and built many of these. He was impressed by the cold weather missions the C130 would take on.

The C-130 is the such a fantastic platform. So versatile and fast for a turboprop while being much for efficient than jets.
LM, you can never stop building these.
I know this is the LM "brochure" but it is pretty cool and such an incredible, capable aircraft.
There’s a reason why the C-130J owns the market, and it ain’t flashy unfounded promises.

Being an old Crew Chief I love the way the center rail section can be changed, where was this technology back in the 1960'S & 70's?
Gotta love the 130. I have over 3150 hours SCT on 'em.
Had 2000 hours on various types In including 806 combat hours over the North Viet Nam.
@@williamwilson8222 Wow, great! And thank you, sir, for your service!
Great advances since Vietnam and just so much more advanced. Lockheed Martin deserves all the applauds.
Last mile in, first mile out. Surprised that made it through the filming take and editing. Still a great video. We know what you mean which is all that matters.
A truly capable aircraft in all guises. The Super J has adapted remarkably since the 'E" models I enjoyed flying - sometime last century!

Thanks u so so much for such a great moto for up coming genertaion Thanks you Lockheed
Innovation and capability is always looking , this is why I love Lockheed Martin..🙏🙏🙏
MORE of these please.
so cool. Just wish i could own one.
The RAF should never have gotten rid of their C130J Hercules .

Excellent video about the C-130 legend and its successful evolution and modernization into the C-130 J.

Beautiful machine!
Very nice video!
Fav piece of military equipment. Not showy, but effective and you will be glad to see one
Great work Lockheed Martin... God Bless America 🇺🇸
" O GORDO " aqui no Brasil essa aeronave entrou para eternidade 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼
If Jamie shaved his beard, you'd pick up 5 knots in airspeed I bet! Miss all you fellers up in flight ops.
Nice planes. Very nice planes.
A 70 year old design still going.strong.
RNZAF just received their first one on the 4th September. Glad my little country could get our hands on some of these!
I was out at Dobbins a couple of weeks ago and saw a couple of New Zealand J-30's parked...
Bring them here to NZ

Hopefully it's not a drastic change like it is going from windows 10 to 11 where you can't find anything and you waste time figuring things out
@@scott.c9587 No, it is some kind of Linux variant. It's very stable
@@scott.c9587no it's just different added capabilities, it's a Linux based system and there's nothing to do with Windows. It's a solid based system.
Let's goooo
It has a freaking laser gun now! Awesome! 😂👍
Great. My favorite aircraft.
im sold!!! ill take one in black
Amazing airframe.
Another fine Lockheed Martin product.
Cannot WAIT
here in pensacola we love our blue angels and especially fat albert 🇺🇸
Here we go!
What a great aircraft. I fly the RC version. Aways looks good in the air.
American Air force beauty has no match in this world ❤
Bravo!!
Pretty good
I soooo want one as my private plane to travel in.

😂
that's assuming B-52 wouldn't crash somewhere, it has an occasional habit of coughing up at unexpected times times.
Thats why RMAF (Royal Malaysian Air Force) still operated the C-130 Hercules because of its durability and reliability.
Seen bunches of them in Iraq at " Motaretaville" and Balad Iraq 2004!!
My friends: get excited for their actor's cameo.
Me : gets excited for the cg F22 cameo...
This isoneof the best Military transport plane and a Militaty Gunship plane, it was operated since Vietnam war. I sawthia plane ever since I was Boy in 1965.
B26 Left the group
Mega ship leader
To think the RAF got rid of all their Hercules, along with the Harrier a few years ago. Very bad decision, the Hercules was the backbone of the RAF.
Australia is recapitalizing its entire C130 fleet with the updated version - satisfied customers return.
woooooow Awesome Juliet!
Anyone remember VR-7 and VR-8 Moffett Field? Air force planes and Navy crews?
I hope I recognize the signal😂🎉❤ I have no trousers with velcro fastener 😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤
Hi😊
Very interesting. Thanks.
Great video. One question though, is the host J.K. Simmons' brother? The resemblance is uncanny at some angles.
🎉
How can I purchase one?
And that’s the C-130 J. It’ll be available from next week in Space Gray, Midnight, and the new Olive Drab.

910th AirWing flies right over my house we luv hercy pigs
Hello what block upgrade eliminates constant HDD3 FAIL (A)
👽
two passed over my house in Italy this evening. Can anyone tell me if it is something rare and how these planes are used. Thanks
Does it come in flamingo pink?
No my local Walmart has a few on sale with 20% off the retail price (factory new) but it comes in Ghost Grey paint scheme only ☹️ Very disappointed.
Newest version of C-130? I've played it with Turboprop Flight Simulator.
Yes it's the newest version, the other thing that makes a difference is the newest software.
Can I have a ride in a C130 Lockheed? Plz
FAA Brand New Day
Hum hum.....FMS exists since.....AGES 😊. (I've stopped watching this Lockheed promotional film at this moment 😅😅)
Yep, They probably will ....
Thé c130j is à proven machine but slighly expansive.

on the ground these ships are LOUD.

Here comes the Indian airforce MTA sales pitch video.....
China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, BRICS & quite possibly every middle eastern nation in existence LIKE THIS VIDEO with their pens & notepads out jotting down everything from designs to capabilities.
Public accessible information. They already know it.
What scares them is the capabilities we don’t publish.
China already has the info, Many BRICS nations are recipients of US weapons too. you can't hide stuff in modern world given how stuff gets leaked by dumb Americans or Chinese spies or Chinese hackers(as China holds one of the biggest hacker networks on government payroll in the world) .
