BEST FOOTAGE EVER!!! C-130 Landing at Cherbourg France in 1080p HIGH DEF

- Aircrew members participating in Task Force Normandy/Airdrop warrior 2012 from Pope Field, Ft Bragg, NC arrive back at Cherbourg airport after completing their mission.
The Pilot in the left seat works the yoke with great skill and imputing full deflection at times to bring his aircraft and his crew back from another successful sortie. This High Def video is the best footage ever captured in a C-130 Flight deck. It shows not only stunning airman-ship of the pilot in command but the shot outside with the runway rushing up into the windows as the pilot makes a great crosswind landing. - Zábava
I have over 5,000 flying hours with MAC/AMC and the "dirty thirty" was my best assignment. Love the short takeoffs and landings. Low level is quite and experience.
As a former C-130 pilot, I enjoyed the video - PIC did a great job - the C-130 is the "last pilot's aircraft" that has steam-driven dials and physical controls; and the the pilot has control - not the computer !!
I am gonna be doing medical evacuation with the C-130 and i feel more confident watching the ease with which you landed it. Great video!
Thanks for the vid; I really like the point of view and wide angle on this one.
SUPER COOL. THANKS for POSTING. GREAT BIRD
Nicely done!
Very sweet landing of an amazing aircraft
Excellent video!
Good flying, and this is really a great video!
That big propeller sound after landing is beautiful isn't it..
Nice landing....obviously a pretty good pilot !
My most favorite plane of all the ones we had in the USAF
Great landing son well done got that beast down safely
very nice view...!!!!!!thanks....
Very nice plane love it
That was nicely done in that last part when you were about to touch down. Nice vid
great vid.
Great camera view! I loved it.
Yea, that’s the first video I’ve ever seen of the pilot using the nose wheel steering. Even from the Engineers seat you don’t really notice that because the focus is on the torque spinoff from the 4 engines so you can clear them for reverse, and then you have your after landing checklist and some other things going on.
3:30 cool twitch from the nose-wheel steering tiller as it touches down!
I worked in the nose section of the C-130 for eight years as a vacation fill in man. I installed every wire harness, hydraulic tube, all the hardware in the nose and worked pre shakedown. I spent many happy hours in this great A/C with a bunch of really dedicated employees. This took place in the early 1960s when we were building a C-130 every day and a half. One hell of an airplane. Marietta, Georgia is the airlift capitol of the world having been the manufacturing site of the C-130, C-141, and the mighty C-5. We also built the B-47, Jet Star, P-3, F-22, and the Humming Bird [VTOL]. I worked on the first production C-130 and C-5 and the C-5 was my favorite although the C-130 was the bread and butter A/C and still is. Lockheed/Martin is the best Company in the business to work for as far as I am concerned.
M.K. Kilgore - Don’t forget, Bell Aircraft built the B-29 there during WW2.
M.K. Kilgore sounds the tits loud well loud love that plane

What about McDonnell Douglas or Boeing?
Just love the C-130
What a pro landing, hardly tell he touched down!
J.Evans; Unlike small aircraft that use differential braking, and have no hyd steering systems and short wheelbase, large aircraft need the wheel (called tiller on most models) because it's impossible to attain the 20-75+ degrees required to make a sharp turn with just the pedals. Pedals provide some steering
lot of stick input towards the end, is that normal for bigger aircraft? I'm a student pilot and our cessnas are very touchy. Great video and great landing.
Yeah, It looks like a hand full but the Herk is a nimble bird for a cargo transport. The A/C went full deflection on the yoke a couple of times due to the crosswinds and the lower speed upon landing.
you know a lot! Your right I've learned that since I posted that comment. But, wouldn't a bigger aircraft have bigger ailerons and other control services to compensated for it size. Just for conversation sake.
Nasty crosswinds, but that's Lt. Col. landing the plane, so he's probably a pro at it unless he's a recent transfer from another airframe. Given how well he did, I doubt that...
when your speed starts to bleed off controls become sluggish especially with high winds and low altitudes....essentially the aircraft reacts faster and its much more "touchy" at higher altitudes....But im only fifteen so what do i know ;)

Whats the wheel on the left side for? At first it almost looked like nose wheel steering, but I don't know.
hey phly didn't expect to see you here! we should play war thunder sometime :D
"You're too low Stryker, Pull up!"
Its the nose wheel steering indeed
One thing I never understood is why large aircraft have the hand-wheel to turn the nose gear instead of just using the petals
Seemed like a relatively normal (routine) C-130 landing to me . . .
Do you know the pilot’s name?
true dat
Doesn't look like there is much of a crosswind to me. The pilots actions are about normal for a Hercules. As you get closer to the ground, ground effect comes in to play causing more input to the controls to counter effect.
Holy smokes. A little crosswind there captain? Nice job. The C-130 is too far above the ground for that to all be ground effect, especially with engines at low RPM.
What is the purpose of that little wheel to the left of the pilot? it seems to move right at landing. Could it steer the nose wheel?
Paul Stawecki You are correct, it’s known as a tiller and all larger commercial aircraft have it, the rudder can also steer the nosewheel but only 5 degrees or so.
he had a crosswind from left? he always correct to left and the plane is a bit sluggish to correct, it takes about 1 to 1.5 secs to correct heading. I am not a pilot, just deducting.
A greaser!
Didn't know that the cockpit of an C-130 looks older than the interior of an old Panzer III from WWII..
Hank Scorpio it’s because this is either an H model or earlier. I’m guessing C-130H but don’t quote me on that one. The newer J models that were made in the late 90’s to now are much more advanced with screens in the cockpit and much less clogged with instruments on the instrument panel.
"One thing I never understood is why large aircraft have the hand-wheel to turn the nose gear instead of just using the petals"
Re: i think it is because Hercules was designed as a short take off and landing aircraft, capable to use non paved airstrips, that normally are very narrow, and with bad wheather, you could get stuck on deep mud or snow, just thinking.
That wheel is called a Tiller Wheel. Most all large category aircraft have one. One benefit to having one is to separate the operation/manipulation of the nose wheel steering while controlling the rudder and ailerons in an opposite direction.
dan kuettel thanks man.
dan kuettel The steering wheel is actually called "Nose Gear Steering"
Does it also have to do with the rudder having less of an effect on turning at low speeds (under 60 knots)?
Wow it’s certainly not as responsive as driving a car and is like you have to predict the action to be taken .
an easy landing......... made to look difficult...... back to basics for them....
A lot of over correcting on final there. Wow. If he had cross wind he would have been using rudder not the ailerons like that.
Great plane, but hardly stunning airman-ship. Any Herk pilot would call that a plain vanilla landing.
Why is this the "BEST FOOTAGE EVER!!!" that's as bad as the "Must Watch" that some twits put in video titles.
Mel Brooks Well at least I don’t use a fake picture as my screenshot, like for example; planes on fire with engines falling off crashing into bridges to lure people to view my videos. It all depends on your interpretation. Mine, is that this unique camera angle allows Flightdeck as well as outside environments to been seen as the pilot lands at the airfield. By the way, I like your movies. 🤑
Stick to flying paper planes u stooge
