- C-130J flight and tactical beam approach to landing at Dyess AFB in Abilene Texas. Flew out commercially on our airline friends' tails to Norfolk Virginia to pick up a stuck bird. Quiet flight home on a calm Saturday afternoon. Perfect time to fly an east-west Beam.

Just a wicked pattern where they allow you to fly directly over the tower! Very cool and appreciate all your vids. Great tool especially for AF recruitment to the Herky birds!
One hell of a office view brother!
Was at Dyess in the mid 80s , Dad was 96th FMS .. loved seeing that approach
I was there '84 to '87 in the 96th too.
@@bluerex03 Remember a CMS Montgomery?
Sounds vaguely familiar. I was in the NDI shop, so I mostly knew the Corrosion Control and Structural Repair guys.
39th FE from the Pope days here. Sounds odd only having two crew responses to the checklist. Most fun I had was the 3 ship V formation flyby at Volant Rodeo in the '80's.
The front gate flyover brought me back to 2005 where I was standing watch when I was in SF, fantastic vid!
Good to see Abilene again from this vantage point. Really enjoyed my assignment there. Been a few years… was there for the changeover from the 772nd to the 39th.
superb vid !! love those C130's ... also here @ EHEH they fly a lot of tac approaches with the RNLAF C130-H's ... safe flights sir !
Cool, overflying all the preserved aircraft at Dyess AFB!
This is great stuff
Very nice, I remember a time when there was another type of random shallow approach called a pitchout which was pretty interesting. After a few years there was a close call between a wingtip and a runway and the pitchout went the way of the dodo.
Thanks for the vids!
Perfect👌
CE in the house
So hard finding military flying videos like this on CZcams, awesome channel!
Great video. I think all USAF bases should have a visual approach like that. Boy the checklists sure have changed from the binder we used to have to keep updated. Thanks for posting.
Nice cross field down wind approach
Another cool video gentlemen, really enjoying your material !!
Nice Video. Interesting for me are the Pilots Flight Uniforms. "Back in the Day" they just wore OD Green. Looks much cooler now!
Fantastic vid! Thanks for sharing, appreciate it a lot.

Kick ass! This is my absolute favorite approach! Do you guys ever do this as a two ship tac?
We could do it with more than that if we wanted.
Dude! You flew right over my workplace at Love and Care Ministries!
Let me know if you drop in to Westover.
REACH,,,,,,Hello, not one of my faves was flying into the sun,,visual, gets puny,,what I USED TO DO was use one of those rubber covers my instructor used to create’ partial panel’,well used 1 on my windshield to block that sun flying west into it, or east too,,GREAT FLIGHT ,GREASED LANDING, ,,,,,BLUE SKIES &TAILWINDS,,,,,,,CHERIO,,, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have heard that a turn onto final is, in a way, tedious and has element of danger. True? 🤔
AWESOME!
I miss Abilene, I was 39th H model FE
Lotta scuff marks at the touchdown point on that runway. You're lucky. Next to riding in a U2 at 70,000 feet, you're flying the plane I most want to ride.

they could use a HD sun visor.
We have em. Just scratched beyond use.
Is this approach similar to the "random shallow"? I've had C130s request this but never really understood what it meant.
Its a random shallow - abeam. The random shallow means you will be on a low altitude pattern and the abeam or "beam" means you are going to cross the runway at 90 degrees. You can do a random shallow to a highspeed downwind or to a base turn or a straight-in
Thanks for that explanation. It's always been a question I had. They would ask I'd just say "approved as requested" and figure it out later. Lol
@@Mike_delta80 haha no problem
But where is Waffles, and her cool gloves?
👍
What is a beam approach?
Thanks for sharing.
An Abeam approach (we just call it the Beam) is where we typically but not always arrive over the field 90 degrees off from the runway.
@@ReachAviation Is there a nav aid to guide you?
It's all visual.
Why is this callsign the last four of the aircraft, yet usually it’s a three digit number or a tactical callsign (CROW21 e.g.)? What are the differences? Is the four digit callsign a positioning flight?
If there is, I dont know it. Just worked out that way this time.
