[mayorlondon]

Great vid...Keep em coming!

[basementmoviemaker]

how did you get so lucky to go on a c 130?

[1SFODdelta]

Dude, it called touch'n'go.

[nicandchaz]

The ILS Landing system deliberatly puts you in different spots over the runway as you touch down. when ILS was first introduced they found it was so acurate that as planes were landing, it was allways on the precise same spot on the runway and caused damage very quickly to the runways. They now move each aircraft slightly every landing.

Hope that clears up a few things. you could even see the ILS control in the stick, its hunting.

Try get a work experience placement there! i did and i got a flight in the C-130j too, (couple videos on my channel but not as good quality) and i also went in the full motion c-130 simulator too! it's awesome stuff.

@mrhaydon I did work experience at RAF Lyneham too in the late 90s and went in the simulator, didn't get a flight in a real Herc sadly but the simulator was a fab experience!

No i dont mean like that, im aware it is dual controls but i see the control column reguarly changing position, quite durasticaly from right to left i wonder if you know why ?

[videowatcher101010]

well he wasa a student pilot - his 'aerobatics' made many people in the aircraft vomit (no joke - it was unpleasent)

[videowatcher101010]

another reason may be that the aircraft isn't particularly responsive to control input

[MrSkipperRay]

The slower a plane flies, like on final approach, the less effective the control surfaces and larger control inputs are needed to keep the plane level, so there are lots of quick and large inputs needed at landing speeds. At cruising speed only small adjustments are needed.

[Flight8695]

why does the control column move around so much ?

[videowatcher101010]

because you are only seeing the picture from the side of the pilot who wasn't flying the aircraft - the pilot on the other side was moving his control column and as a result you see the control column on this side moving.

join the real air force and stop posting vids with sensitive content all over the net

[videowatcher101010]

in what way is it sensitive

[motorcrosser12]

LOL i was there today with AC for x-country B-G wing lol and as i was running past the hangers next to the taxi way there was like two of them doing touch and goes lol r u a pilot in them?

[videowatcher101010]

[motorcrosser12]

[videowatcher101010]

[motorcrosser12]

[videowatcher101010]

[CQSupreme59]

[videowatcher101010]

we did it several times for a couple of hours.

[videowatcher101010]
