Not to long ago, a C-130K was doing a training exercise around where i live, you could hear a faint humming from the engines, but you couldn't see it, needless to say, it scared a few people, expecting the shots of a 20mm cannon =P
@coug741 Gday yes it is true that can fit in one aircraft, while my dad was in RAAF and have seen one of F111 (without wings) that fit in C-130 and thought that F111 cant fit in as we were wrong, it took F111 to get in C-130 appox 2-4 hours with cautions etc, Omg love to hear that sound i never forget to hear that noise when i was inflight C-130 but hate slow flight etc
Its just prop vortexes because the presure differential is making the air cool down and meet the dew point temp causing the vortexes to become visible. there are on any propeller.
I am in Civil Air Patrol and its a great experience we go up in these things as like a field trip off of classes lol. I'm studying aerospace to be an engineer in the airforce when I get out of college and I got to ride in one of these for the first time last night. :) It is a great experience and its not as bad as you would think, but it is very loud you can't even guess how loud these things are. The propellers are deafening when you step outside and they are spinning.
Yea i got done doing that today at the AFB. We were entering the back of the plane as the engines were on and we got all the prop wash on us, exhaust fumes, pollin, dirt and what not on us.
@bmbheat24, Gday Congrats for your first ride, Yes it very loud to hear these propellers (we have to wear ear muff or headset to avoid damage hearing) it excatly deafening after you get off the C-130
its actually the humidity forming on the propellers and then falling off, like high-speed rain. it was probably getting ready to rain/or just rained/or foggy earlier.
I was 9 yrs old when i went on a c130, travelled from khasab to muscat (oman) a truly great experience. They must be safe aircraft, i dont think i have ever heared of one crash??
Very sadly some of them have crash, but there are still alot of them out there. They have made over 2,000 of those planes, and most likely over 1,000 of them are still out there flying great, and i plan to do some repairs on them as well since im a aircraft mechanic. You gotta keep those good planes flying great you know, and the c 130 is one of them
Cool

I Fucking Love this Aircraft! Love the sound of the T-56 Engines (Correct me if I'm wrong) too...

Yes its definately a workhorse, the backbone of the cargo world. It can carry just about anything that fits in the aircraft.

the humidity in the air condenses pressure compensation

I love c-130's changes of sound. Wherever you move it sounds different
