C-130 News: The US Air Force's MC-130 Seaplane is Finally in the Works
Lockheed Martin's C-130J Super Hercules aircraft is not just the workhorse for the military but also a super achiever. In its career that has spanned over two decades, this aircraft has landed in the Arctic, on the highest airstrip, and even an aircraft carrier carrying out medevac, troop, and cargo transport. The US Air Force now plans to make it a seaplane as well, thereby making it possible for this mighty aircraft to land anywhere across the globe. To ensure that the new version of the
C-130 News: Air Force pilots test landing skills on Highway 287 during military exercise
The United States military made history yesterday when it landed a C-130 aircraft on Highway 287 north of Rawlins during a joint training exercise. Moments after sunrise, the cargo plane burst through storm clouds to the east of the roadway at about 240 miles per hour. 500 feet off each wingtip was an A10. Known also as “flying guns,” A10’s are the Air Force’s primary low-altitude close support aircraft. Until yesterday, the Air Force had never landed a C130 on an American highway, although two

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFNS) -- The 302nd Airlift Wing has three C-130 Hercules aircraft flying sorties out of McClellan Air Tanker Base this year in Sacramento County, California, performing an aerial firefighting mission unique within the Air Force Reserve.

C-130 News: 908th Airlift Wing remembers 9/11 with flyover
Remembering the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, provides little cause to celebrate for the vast majority of United States citizens, including members of the Armed Forces. Many face the day with somber reverence to the memory of all the victims and the heroes that sacrificed themselves that day (and for the 20 years since) so that others may live in peace and security. The significance is not lost on the Airmen of the 908th Airlift Wing, who, despite continuing to conduct tactical airlift

One-liners
One-liners: The first time is for love, the next time is $200. The floggings will continue until morale improves. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. - Eleanor Roosevelt The hardest thing in life to learn is which bridge to cross and which to burn. The hardness of the butter is in inverse proportion to the softness of the bread. The hidden flaw never remains hidden. The idea is to die young as late as possible. The ideal resume will turn up one day after the position is filled. The lagging activity in a project will invariably be found in the area where the highest overtime rates lie waiting. The least experienced fisherman always catches the biggest fish. The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of an oncoming train. The longer the title the less important the job. The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on. The meek shall inherit the earth, but only after we're done with it. The meek shall inherit the earth, but not it's mineral rights. The moment for calm and rational discussion is past; now is the time for senseless bickering. The more an item costs, the farther you have to send it for repairs. The more directives you issue to solve a problem, the worse it gets. The more ridiculous a belief system, the higher probability of its success. The more things change, the more they stay insane. The more time you spend in reporting on what you are doing, the less time you have to do it in. Stability is achieved when you spend all your time doing nothing but reporting on the nothing you are doing. The more trivial your research, the more people will read it and agree. The more vital your research, the less people will understand it. The most important item in an order will no longer be available. The most interesting results happen only once. The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. The number of people watching you is proportional to the stupidity of your action. The obscure a bureaucrat may see eventually; the completely apparent takes forever.

Business one-liners
By Sonny · PostedBusiness one-liners: The bigger they are, the harder they hit. The book you spent $25.95 for today will come out in paperback tomorrow. The business plan you prepare must be a lie; but it must be a detailed and precise lie rather than a vague and general lie. The business world worships mediocrity. Officially, we revere free enterprise, initiative, and individuality. Unofficially, we fear it. The careful application of terror is also a form of communication. The cha -
