[GH85Carrera]

The first time I was old enough to really understand airplanes and I saw a C-130 I wondered why the tail was so cut off on the rear. Then I saw one rotate for takeoff, and I understood. As an airshow at Maxwell AFB in 1976 for the bicentennial they had a C-130 do a full rocket assisted takeoff. And takeoff it did, wow that thing got moving fast.
