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 !!!!!

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!

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.
