HERE is an inside view of the prop. can anyone tell me if you can resave vid from facebook to your hard drive? want to show an outside view....it's even more weird.....

That shit always blows my mind.

Phlt , You Need to go see the Ariforce Museum in Dayton Ohio ,
Litterly from the Wright Brothers flyers to the MOST Advanced stuff today ,
Even experimental stuff , Ever seen a P51 with a 105 howitzer on it ??
Didnt work so well , the Planes tended to go Backwards when it fired !!!!!

Good thread MAN !!!

Yea, but it works great on a C-130!!! Angel of Death. A Godsend.

flown a plane backwards once.had enough of a headwind to maintain altitude. and ty sir!

I remember that, you were flying radio relay for the oil rigs after Katrina.

The Air Force has the latest whiz-bang, but I think the Navy has the most interesting specialized aircraft. Lots of low production oddball rigs.

The CAF moved Fifi to Addison here in Dallas. I'm going to go see her again, now that her engines are all better!

good memory yes indeed!

nice brian, i'd def go see her

that c-130 is a monster! i wonder what firing the howitzer does for yaw?

you should see it from the outside. it's almost indescribable. tell ya what, the next time i go flying i'll stand outside on startup and post the vid. the prop looks like it bends backwards over the cowl. pretty weird.

Mmmm...I loves me some Spectre.

for your enjoyment sir! :rattat:

I have toured them a number of times when we would deploy to Hurlburt AFB and got to speak to the crew. They said the aircraft does move laterally every time it fires. They are quite the ac from the inside. Esp after all the time I have spent in the back of a different version of the c-130. It is amazing to me how versatile the air frame is.
