Arkansas National Guard lands C-130 Hercules cargo plane on state highway

[@av8tore71]

Those 4 Allison-T-56's have an unmistakable sound from a distance, you can always know it's a C-130 even though you do not see it!

[@Kevin19700]

Exactly!

[@AirborneRenegade]

The C-130 that landed was equipped with the Rolls-Royce AE-2100.

[@jamesmarston249]

It’s impossible not to concede this is a splendid aircraft, even though my father died in one in 1974.

[@tonimccoy1115]

That's an awesome aircraft. Watching them do their touch and go training in San Antonio is always thrilling 🤓

[@arkynative667]

We live in a small town near where this landing happened. The airport was a former Army Air Corps training base. They regularly fly C-130s out of Jacksonville up here for touch and go practice since the local airport has an 8,000 ft runaway that's almost always unused.

I have landed on dirt roads on a 130 in Alaska. This is a piece of cake for this fabulous bird.

[@tommyroe3261]

As a member of the 154th squadron “TATS” for my last 20 years of service as a Loadmaster instructor, Evaluator, I don’t think this could be construed as anything extraordinary! We did many landings on dirt strips at night using NVG’s retrieving Army troops, sometimes in the mud. I don’t think this landing on a highway is very impressive! I’ve been retired for 18 years and still love and respect my squadron!❤️!

Bono is a very small town outside of Jonesboro Arkansas. Farm land surrounds the section of highway where the planes landed. Tractors are seen on the highways; military planes have never landed on our highways. Landing Military planes on a highway in foreign countries isn’t new, but in rural areas here, it seems nefarious. Local comms look like Military intelligence briefing 😂 It was a relief to learn that was the National Guard landing. Muchbetter than FEMA practice runs. 😮

Seeing four C-130s landing on a dirt road one after the other, offloading a Company of Army soldiers and their vehicles and equipment to begin combat operations and then all four aircraft back in the air in less than 20 minutes is, somehow, more impressive than this.

[@michaeldewey4855]

Every state should have highways that are strong enough to land cargo planes on and take off again

[@Disturbed.S10]

They do…

[@davidjohnston330]

The Interstate act

[@mrozborne1973]

It’s call The Interstate Act. And if necessary, all branches of military can shut down the highway system and be used strictly for military use only.

[@michaeldewey4855]

I worked on them in Dover AFB in early 80s

[@Suzanne-f4x]

I love those big-ass cargo planes!

[@wildoutrudeboy]

Something doesn't add up. Those roads aren't designed to handle that much payload. 😢.

[@williamlloyd3769]

Great exercise!

[@loqutisborg5416]

Empty weight - 76,780 pounds. Fully loaded - 155,000 pounds. Google. still a lot weight for a regular road.

Impressive. I take it that this was to show it could be done… depending on the cargo & fuel load and the straight away available for landing and take off😃
