Nice formation - any reason for the 130's outboard props to be windmilling or stopped  :)?

Goodly morning all... ;D

Of course you heard what the Herc Driver said and did after the F18 suck and blow driver pulled some high G maneuvers, a vertical climb and came back in formation with the Herc.

The F18 Driver wanted to know what the dump truck driver thought about that.

The Herc Capt said that is nothing, watch this.

In the next second the cockpit of the Herc was empty.

The suck and blow driver stared in amazement at the empty cockpit of the big dump truck.

After a minute or so the F18 jockey saw the two pilots back in their seats and asked what happened.

The Herc Capt replied, we went to the washroom and got a couple of coffee's as well...what do you think of that?

The Hercs have their engines shutoff to save fuel on long missions. Like refueling. The P-3 Orion does the same thing
