this really makes it seem like the interior of a c-130 isn't the loudest place on earth. they give civilians riding c-130s ear plugs. they are your best friend. I remember Mac flights on c-130s when I was a kid and my dad was in the Navy...deafening. it makes you appreciate how quiet passenger planes really are

Yes, I had a long ride in a C-130. MAC it was from Gulfport MS to Que Phu Bai in South Vietnam we stopped in the San Francisco area, and then went to Hawaii, Wake Island, Phillipines, and then to Que Phu Bai and it took about 53 hours to fly it, but we had breakdowns in Wake Island, and the Philippineswhich added about 15 hours to the flight time. However, it was better than taking a tramp cargo ship across the Pacific, which I accomplished on my next trip to South Vietnam 3 months later. Please note the three typos that we traveled through, that left our ship powerless for one day. That trip took 29 days, and the food sucked! Even the crew only ate portions of the food. On this trip we had some friendly news, if your in Davy Jones Locker, As the sister ship sank in the Aleutian Chain with all hands lost. In I corps we had Puff-the-Majic-Dragon almost every night, and the NVA moved down the highway about ten miles east of our position. It was beautiful to watch and hear!

Tabasco70 I was returning to West Berlin, via Frankfurt, & the duty train, & caught a hop flight on the group commander’s plane from the refueling group out of the military side of O’Hare airport in 1974, ... the C130 was a fabulous craft, ... holding the double sized fiberglas refueling cells that went from the basement to the roof, it was frigging awesome, ... only time I was jealous of the MOS I chose, for my branch of service, ... lmmo! That crew was great, & I was an E4 with almost 3 years in, & was the least ranking military member on the plane, ... the next closest rank was the guy who sat in the tail, & guided the hose reel out to the jets needing fuel, ... & he was an E-8 if I’m not mistaken, ... I did get to retract the hoses from the 2 jets we refueled just short of the point of no return, ... lmmo! The Group Commander was a very likable person who did not bother with pulling rank, ... he was in charge, & you could tell, that he was, ... no ifs, ands, or buts about it, ... I did my best to stay out of the crews way during the flight, & before we got off of the plane, he gave me a bag of oranges, & grapefruits, ... which I took back with me to West Berlin, ... was offered a lot of things for that bag of fruits, ...lmmo!

I live within 40 miles of an Air Force base and every time I hear a AC~130 approaching I will run outside to try and catch a glimpse of it. Well, almost every time. Sometimes, if I'm still sleeping during daylight hours and hear a 130 approaching, I'll just briefly wake up and listen to that hum as it passes over knowing full & well what the source of that hum is and that it's just our guys out on a mission.

When you watch c130 shoot the mini guns at night its like a lazerbeam burning the jungle up

We've all seen the recoil from artilley pieces fired on the ground but to mount a 105mm cannon inside an aircraft is absolutely insane!!! The dampening system on that cannon must be brilliant as you barely see any movement of the Herc when they fire the gun....... only the Americans would be mad enough to do something like this!!! Its interesting that the USAF has changed what's in the toy box on the new Ghost Rider compared to what was carried in the previous AC-130, the only thing that remains is the US made M102 howitzer. They've removed the twin Vulcan 20mm guns and the 40mm Bofors gun and replaced them with a single 30mm GAU-23 Bushmaster ll. To some, it might seem like they have robbed the Ghost Rider of a lot of firepower, however........ the new ramp launched "Gunslinger" AGM's/GBU's and the wing mounted AGM's and GBU's/SDB's make this latest variant of an AC-130 an extremely potent weapons platform and an absolute nightmare for enemies on the ground...... I LOVE IT!!!!!! And I wish we, the British, had a couple of these in our toy box. 🇬🇧🇺🇸✌️

This is exactly what I mean by age discrimination for the military it does not take a 19 year old to be a weapons loader, this job as a weapons loader can be done by anybody in the age range of 40 to 70 years old freeing up the younger soldiers for more active duties that require a more physical ability
