That is generous. Over the years I packed up a few Lynx for C130 shipping and it usually took Friday PM to strip, MARTSU Move to VL over the weekend and off on Monday. It didnt need any major strip. Return to flight depended a bit on the vibro, but H24 was usually enough.
We did have one occasion where during the setting up, ASCOT tasking offered to come to Portland and collect, having misread, in something like an en-route sup, the 600 ft PO runway as a 6000 ft strip🤣
