C-130 crash in Iraq FUBAR

[lesofprimus]

I much preferred jumping out of C-130's than flying in them... Ive had some long flights on them as well, just like u guys, and have the same horror stories....

All of us do.. LoL.

I uesd to fly in "A" models - I worked for a company who maintained and operated 3 of them. We used to lauch drones for the Navy. When we weren't doing that we were hauling "stuff" between China Lake, Point Mugu and St. Nicholas Island.

Im with you on this one Les. I hate flying on them except I never jumped out of them.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

And after only a few years of flying on them, I came out OK.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I normally fall asleep after a few minutes but I still do not like them.

The night before that happened another C-130 was flying over and saw that a section was missing and contacted the tower. I'm sure someone is frying for this. That plane is a Talon 2 just to let you guys know....Have a good one

"You can run but you'll only die tired"

We had Bruce sign this plane... He also wrote yippy kay yay mother fuckers...LOL

Ha! Nice!

 

[evangilder]

Love it! I am sure I don't speak alone when I say I would like to see some pics of those bad boys (the planes, that is!).

 

[Nonskimmer]

Yes please.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Cool!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

nice slogan..........

 

[2W151gunship]

I'll try and get some pics up ASAP. I'll see what i can do

 

[2W151gunship]

This is a good one. We were running engines so I could check the guns and the hydro troop forgot to isolate a hydro valve....BOOM...LOL

 

[2W151gunship]

Unrelated to subject, but still pretty cool. We killed this spider with an MRE bomb wrapped in metal tape...This is a small one for this area.

 

[lesofprimus]

Thats the one thing I dont miss about the desert.... The damn Spiders...

 

[evangilder]

Yeah, those camel spiders are friggin HUGE! I don't mind the normal house variety, but when they get that big, I winder what the heck they eat!

Funny shot with the hydro, well, kind of funny. Probably not for the Hydro guy.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I hated those damn Camel Spiders. I will admit they scared the shit out of me even though they never tried to bite me or anything. I just could not get over there damn ugliness and there damn fangs or jaws or what ever the hell they are.

 

[lesofprimus]

I had some asshole Marine 1st Lt put one on my face while I was napping after being engaged for 6 solid hours.... That almost got me in trouble, cause I went off on him, but thanks to my Lt, it got smoothed out......

Man I was pissed...

 

[2W151gunship]

I was with this guy in Kuwait and one ate at his flesh for like 5 hrs and he didnt really even know it. Dont know what the deal with them is but.....scary either way.

 

[Nonskimmer]

What les, you didn't shove the damn thing up his ass? Sounds like he deserved it. I thought SEALs ate Marines for breakfast.
