Another military aircraft crash - C-130 down in GA


Recommended Posts

My Dad was the Loadmaster that put the first cargo on one at Langley when Lockheed did the demo to the USAF brass.  He asked for a load spreader to protect the floor.  Lockheed engineer told him the C-130 didn't need no damned load spreader.  Dad put the wheels of the load through the floor.  Engineer had to go back to the drawing board.

 

And this is just one of the interesting stories Dad told us late in life a couple of years before he passed.
