if he's talking about the C-17 tilting on it it's tail during cargo loading I call bull shit. Thats why the C-17 comes equiped with stabilizer struts. They're located on either side of the aft end of the landing gear pods (fairings), Just outboard of the ramp hinge points. Now if he's talking about the load being too far aft after they close the ramp and pull the stabilizer struts up, Then he's fired!
Wow, the C17 has a loadmaster station? And a computer? us old dogs (C-130) loadmaster's had to do our weight and balance forms on a pad of paper. We did use a calculator, much to the dismay of the veitnam vets who insisted on the slide rule. :) times they do change, huh?
loadmasters are useless...they don't even load their own cargo anymore. they expect the ground folks to do it for them. just glorified flight attendants...
Dude if ur talking about raw power then the c-5 and the 17 has the 130 beat by a milestone. Everytime we fly by 130's it looks like they're standing still in mid air, poor things. They can't even do a full tac descent that comes close to the 17. Hence I would rather get shot at in a 17 than a 130, at least we can move out of the way
good job sweetie pie!

We never loaded our own cargo. We make sure it gets loaded correctly and help when needed.

If hauling less cargo and taking longer to get there is better, then yes the 130 is better.
