    When I first started driving at PAM there was a driver that said one time he was dispatched on a load that there was no way he could deliver on time, well since he was in the military at one time he just called up an old buddy and they loaded the truck and trailer on a military plane and flew it there for free, you know, since they were buddys and all. At the time I thought it was BS, maybe it was true

    I bet he was an ex navy seal ranger airman too with 135 confirmed kills.

    Loading a semi in one looks cool yes, but I've always wondered why.

    I cannot see how 100% of the time it is loaded it should be palletized. That plane is carrying a lot of dead weight just for the semi weight alone.

    I like the C-130 doing a LAPES unload. It's like a touch & go, where they open the rear door, open a parachute attached to a skid of freight, and the skid unloads itself.

    Yeah, good point. I noticed one time the C-130 can carry about 1 truckload of freight (40-ish thousand pounds of freight).

    Here's an "interesting" takeoff where the Russian version of the C-5 uses every INCH of the runway. !!!

    Wow. If he lost an engine right at the end he'd never make it back to the airport. If he was still in ground affect after he rotated I wonder how long it took him to get a positive rate of climb.
