USS Forrestal C-130 Hercules Carrier Landing Trials

About this video

Short archival footage of a USMC KC-130F Hercules making unarrested landings and takeoffs on the USS Forrestal in 1963. It is the largest and heaviest aircraft to have landed on a carrier, and the tests were judged successful but too risky for routine use.

Keep your curiosity going.
