I did this with the carrier stopped because FSRecorder doesn't replay right if the carrier is in motion (and I can't shoot on the fly). Lockheed Martin C-130E making an off-shore rendezvous.....loaded with pilots and crew, six SEALS and their gear.....25% fuel.

Around 95 knots IAS.....about to reduce throttle to idle....and get a good grip on the seat cushion (while keeping both hands on the yoke)

Contact......full reverse......and stand on the brakes.....

The FA-18s on the deck just fit under the wings ( a carrier is a lot wider than I used to think, big airplane, less than "on center" landing).....and the deck crew are brave men indeed....I would duck if I saw this coming

No one even wet themselves this time......

Thanks 4 looking

Can someone....say pucker factor!

Nice landing! By the way, reminds me of the modified C-130 that was going to be used in the Iranian hostage rescue (Operation Eagle Claw)
