Buffy Foster Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Decided not to go under that bridge? Is that a tanker version with those pods under the wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Just now, Buffy Foster said: Decided not to go under that bridge? Is that a tanker version with those pods under the wings? No way I'd make it. It was the first time I flew it and it's a lumbering giant, very slow to turn. And that bridge was too narrow. You know, I never even thought about those tanks Buffy, good eye! I really don't know. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Good shots, Jack, and no even if you were an expert C130 pilot you would never get under that bridge.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hey Jack. Looks like a nice version of the C-130. May I ask what is the "LM" mentioned as the default source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 An excellent short flight Jack with the trusty Herc. I thought the Scimitar was a jet plane so it wouldn't have had props! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not true Ian. Our Jack can get under any bridge. He just has to decide which part of the plane he wants to come out of the other side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev D Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Nice shots. The fuel tanks under the wings are a standard fit. The C-130 tanker in the UK had an internal tank fitted in the cargo area and the hose went out through a slot in the ramp door. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernd1151 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Great pics, Jack. The default Herc in 4.3 is the old Captain Sim Herc, which means that all the old CS liveries will work on this model too 1 hour ago, VH-KDK said: Our Jack can get under any bridge.

I believe those are part of Northrup Grumman Modernization Efforts, the Hercules has a long run with a prominent future ahead of this iconic multi-roll aircraft.
