  • I could build a battle cruiser faster Goddd.....

  • @nealshireman yeah

  • if you think that this is big look at the C5 carrier

  • if they fit 432 ppl in a c-130, imagine how many they could fit into an antonov an-225

  • ENEMY C-130 ABOVE!!! xD

  • yay, i love football field comparisons <.<

  • Efficient, yes. Safe, no.

    Also, they dont need to build planes like they build cars, Its not a "huge" market, so no use building planes that no one wants to buy.

  • Yes they do. C-130J models. Which is the version they are building in the video.

  • It will be a sad day if/when the C-130 is decommissioned. It is a brilliant airplane, and fantastically reliable!
