Those 4 Allison-T-56's have an unmistakable sound from a distance, you can always know it's a C-130 even though you do not see it!
Exactly!
The C-130 that landed was equipped with the Rolls-Royce AE-2100.
It’s impossible not to concede this is a splendid aircraft, even though my father died in one in 1974.
That's an awesome aircraft. Watching them do their touch and go training in San Antonio is always thrilling 🤓
We live in a small town near where this landing happened. The airport was a former Army Air Corps training base. They regularly fly C-130s out of Jacksonville up here for touch and go practice since the local airport has an 8,000 ft runaway that's almost always unused.
Seeing four C-130s landing on a dirt road one after the other, offloading a Company of Army soldiers and their vehicles and equipment to begin combat operations and then all four aircraft back in the air in less than 20 minutes is, somehow, more impressive than this.
Seen it before?
@@jethromkanda5159 Yes, not really anything out of the ordinary, the operation I described and similar type joint service operations with C-130s have been happening for 60+ years.
@@sssp3071 never been seen on US highways.
@@sssp3071 We see the combat operations.
Other videos show the equipment and soldiers re-loading ammo; refueling and taking off again. On U.S. soil.
Wasn't 4 but same one ,only differences with each landing was different pilots training for the same situation. I think 🤔 😕 😅 😌 😐 😪 🤔 😕 😅 😌 😐
Has a better turn radius than my jeep...
Best comment. 👏👏
🤣🤣🤣
It's a C-130 thing. You wouldn't understand.
I flew on these awesome planes when I was stationed at the Rock. Enjoyed every minute of it
Fellow Veteran Thank You for your Service to our great country . The whole time I was in the Air Force I never flew on an Air Force plane .
Where was the rkck ? Thank You for your Service FellowAirman Veteran . I served 18 Aug ' 71to 25 May ' 75 . Worked for VA May ' 76 to Aug ' 97 . I was bought when I was 46 yrs old .
@@RobertShaw-fl3os, Little Rock Air Force Base actually located in Jacksonville, AR
I worked on them in Dover AFB in early 80s
Always Ready, Always There. Go Guard!
My husband landed a C130 on a two lane highway (Pipeline Highway to be exact) during Dessert Shield/Dessert Storm
As a member of the 154th squadron “TATS” for my last 20 years of service as a Loadmaster instructor, Evaluator, I don’t think this could be construed as anything extraordinary! We did many landings on dirt strips at night using NVG’s retrieving Army troops, sometimes in the mud. I don’t think this landing on a highway is very impressive! I’ve been retired for 18 years and still love and respect my squadron!❤️!
Bono is a very small town outside of Jonesboro Arkansas. Farm land surrounds the section of highway where the planes landed. Tractors are seen on the highways; military planes have never landed on our highways.
Landing Military planes on a highway in foreign countries isn’t new, but in rural areas here, it seems nefarious. Local comms look like Military intelligence briefing 😂
It was a relief to learn that was the National Guard landing. Muchbetter than FEMA practice runs. 😮
@@Karma4All-looks like we’re getting ready for war to be honest.
@@jamescochran3050 yes & on US soil. I found another video & they landed, refueled and Re-loaded ammo.
Every state should have highways that are strong enough to land cargo planes on and take off again
They do…
The Interstate act
It’s call The Interstate Act. And if necessary, all branches of military can shut down the highway system and be used strictly for military use only.
I have landed on dirt roads on a 130 in Alaska. This is a piece of cake for this fabulous bird.
Something doesn't add up. Those roads aren't designed to handle that much payload. 😢.
Gotta get practiced up for martial law, say around the novemberish time frame?
🤔🤷🏼♂️
😂
Was thinking the same
Great exercise!
Empty weight - 76,780 pounds. Fully loaded - 155,000 pounds. Google. still a lot weight for a regular road.
I got to fly in a c130 at the Jacksonville airbase a few weeks ago for the cival air patrol. Pretty amazing considering im only 16
There's a hint for your October surprise.
either they had nothing better to do or they wanted to practice this in case of an emergency.
I guess u had nothing better to do since your watching this video
Impressive. I take it that this was to show it could be done… depending on the cargo & fuel load and the straight away available for landing and take off😃
@@michaelalogna4796 they landed; re-fueled; re-loaded ammo and took off again.
Okay...explain this to me...especially since I was landing C130s on highways 50 years ago?!
I'm with you, I attempted to explain it with my comment, but was futile.
No big deal! Air Force Reserve, HC-130H Air Force Rescue Service, has had to land on dirt highways in Alaska to save teenage girl having a baby. As they say, piece of cake!!
I jumped many times from C130 with parachute i was in the Military.
6:29 combat re loading practise video called: HIGHWAY TAKEOVER by Special Operations Aircraft in Bono, Arkansas
*C-1Dirty ...*
I would like to know! Is it offensive 🤔?
@@jethromkanda5159 there are other videos. They re-loaded ammo re-fueled and back in the air.
How come there aren't any electric poles on the side of the road
Listen to the Black Oak Arkansas song 'When Electricity Came to Arkansas'. Maybe electricity hasn't made it to that part of Arkansas yet. GEEEZE!🙂
If that was I-40 they are running a Hugh risk of ruining a landing gear!
Drop off some goodies for the public.
MRE's & C- rations 😛😜🫡
@@khrystleooo6994 there are other videos from this day showing them re-loading ammo.
No goodies; re-loading weapons of War on U.S. soil.
Drop of some food for A recent homeless in La. homlesss count in 2019 shows that now more than 1,200 people live on Venice sidewalks, streets, and beaches, representing approximately 1 in 40 residents. While the Venice homeless population is increasing, the homeless population in the rest of CD 11 has been falling.😭
