to kill them then lightning...

Hey, the first drink is on me and thank you God's chosen people for your special responsibility of keeping my oil fields -oh, and your freedom-safe!!

@TheHeardHouse I removed the rest of your comments as I don't want language like that here and I have absolutely no idea what you were ranting on about. And FYI it is a Royal Air Force not USAF C130 so keep your random rants about American politics elswhere.

Thanks, FFTN

@nalgaproductions

Watch at 1:18 & 2:20 for the answer.

how come the C130 DOESNT BOG DOWN IN THE SAND?

[Flaps50trimsneutral]

@mrfridaynight330

Fat tyres and hard, compacted sand when the tide is out on a flat beach.

@Shalashaska016 Not USAF I'm afraid, it is Royal Air Force.

But will it blend?

[ElectroCannibal]

C130's are flying tanks. They can go anywhere and do whatever they want. I Ianded in one in a cross wind with the plane coming in at a 45 degree angle down the runway at Ft. Irwin. I thought we were all gonna die.

I just like to see the planes. Reading what some of these losers have to say,swearing cause they don't know english, is really pathetic. Can they fly?

[ricepaddy69]

Pretty awesome, but is anyone there afraid that the sand will get into the plane and wreak havoc on the engine and other vital parts?

[DrasticPromotions]

Those things really can stop on a dime!

@ktusk15 Indeed, however we found your planes were simply too small and had inadequate range. Which is fine, but you know - second best and all that. So we stretched it, gave it proper engines and air to air refuelling cabilities amongst others. Gave it to the best pilots in the world and Bob's your uncle.
