C-130A formation flying
« on: May 23, 2021, 08:41:12 AM »
Back in the late 50's the Air Force actually stood up a formation team flying the C-130A. Terms that come to mind include, Interesting, unique, terrifying, gutsy....Those guys knew their aircraft and made it show.



Here is a link to an article with background and historical context.

Being male, an accident of birth. Being a man, a matter of age. Being a gentleman, a matter of choice.
