backpocket.com - as I said, the C130 is a fine intra-theatre tactical aircraft; an 'airliner' it most certainly is not. So, other than for tactical military requirements such as troop dropping, we should surely not be using it as such? What gives anyone the right to deny passengers JAR 25 safety? But at least the C130J would appear to have emergency passenger oxygen - does the -K? If not, then surely passenger carrying above 750 mb must stop immediately?
