  • Not an assault take off. Max power takeoff maybe

  • @HercIFENGTN If you are an engineer like your name implies you need to get back in your TOLD definitions.

  • what path did you take to get where you are today?

  • @bajesus666 College, civilian flight school (CMEI), then used the want ads at baseops.net to contact multiple guard/reserve units.

  • Seems like kind of a dangerous spot to be standing if they had to abort.

  • @skipplet An abort would involve us stopping in the remaining runway

  • A-hole considering I did the takeoff I know what it's called. Go back to your hole.

  • Assault procedures have to do with the available runway. So yes this was an assault takeoff. Now you know.

see all

  • ALL Take offs are NOT max power. Look up reduced power takeoff.

  • @aschlech1 Best comment ever.

  • @HercIFENGTN

    This can be a assault take off but whe not see on this vid the hard climb after the acceleration level.

    ALL take offs are at max power! (im' pilot myself so i known that)

  • I wonder how much longer the take-off ground roll is for the C-130, as opposed to lets say Nellis AFB?

  • @narib414 If you pause it you'll get your answer. Not to mention the smoke makes it even more obvious. And the sound.

  • Is the the "J" series or just the old school, couldnt tell from the props in this one.

  • Haha look at all the trolls fighting in the comments. Seriously guys, relax :)

    And what a lucky man gets to stand on the centerline of a runway haha

  • You are all a bunch of dipshits...who cares if it's an assault takeoff or not?

  • @mmckee79 You would have been termed a "605" under the old designation system. :-)
