A C-130 your kidding me!! 3 million people to be feed and watered on what, 5 maybe 6 pallets of kit.. I know its only a recce..but isnt it a week late already! Surely we dont need to do our own, just take whats asked for!!
There was a reason the UN wanted C-17s in Banda Acha, They carry s***loads of kit in one go..and can operate unaided for a week or so.
The Pakistanis turned c-130s away durring thier earthquake relief ops, as they took up valuable pan space!!
How many C-130 herk loads do the movers get in return when RAF C-17s carry NATO kit for other countrys..
If the herrick airbridge cant cope without a C-17 there is something seriously wrong!!!..
Thinks " May have answered my own question there!!!" ok rambling finished crawling back under my rock!
