smudge,
never on Argosies but did my para jump from one. HUGE difference in capabilty between the C130 and the Argosy. The Herc was an original design the Argosy came from the AW parts bin. Shack wing, modified Meteor tail booms etc. This is not to decry the Argosy, way better than the sleeve valvers for most tasks, but it shows what we had to operate with before the mighty Hercules take over
