SEFEGeorge Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Could prove an interesting airplane to be a crewmember on.[ATTACH=CONFIG]2172[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWoods Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It would put a different face on the term "jettison cargo" Plus it looks like it was based on a C-82 an under powered dog of a plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INS/Dopplertroop Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Be interesting to see this on a C-5 scale. The airframe would have to taxi over and connect to the cargo deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railrunner130 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 It would've been very interesting if this system was further developed to work alongside other aircraft, such as the CH-54. It would've also been really neat to incorporate shipping containers into this concept. It would've had to be ERO capable also, but I really think this could've worked.

jimsmith130 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The Air Force has done a lot of work on this concept. Who knows if it will ever come to fruition. See the link below. Jim http://mikesnead.net/resources-cat.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Could prove interesting doing an airdrop. "Load, is the load clear? Load? Load? Oh, the Load must really be clear." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflimbach Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I was a LM on the C-119 from which this was derived. That was PLENTY interesting enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
