I’m proud to see it fly over once in a while. It’s quieter with all four burning during climbup than a lightweight fighter going fast at 5000 ft. That’s a particularly good picture of it. But because it leaves such a turbulence of twisted air behind it, it can’t deliver as many troops on parachute to a particular drop site as it’s jr-sized predecessor, the C-130. Still, not many planes can carry a M-1 Abrams.
