I have a friend that was a FAC pilot in 'Nam. He had the opportunity to fly in the right hand seat of a C130 a few times and experienced what is shown in the video, first-hand. He described it as an eye-watering experience. Coming from a former FAC pilot, that said something. They made some landings onto hastily prepared "strips" that he swore were too short to land on, even for one of those. On some take-offs, they did a little tree trimming...
