Military Aviation A forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here.

....also, the K sounds (and leaves smoke behind it) like a proper aeroplane, the J disguises it's greater power by sounding like a King Air.

Pie eating Loadies and large Ground Engineers

TBT Not sure about the "Pie eating L/M's", or the large GE's on the C130J, but it isn't a "real" Hercules. I can't see how replacing a professional F/E with two GE's is best use of manpower. The RAAF got the best out of us, flew as the F/E, fixed the snags as they occured when away from home base. Still, the "bean counters" always have had more say than they deserve.

Speaking as an SH Mate, it's always good to see the lumbering Albert, especially when it's taking you back home.

Busy boys these days.
