This was exciting. Hopefully everyone stays safe during the storm

[@ajay52403]

Fr man I hope too. Crazy thing is that they got hit by a tornado right before the hurricanes

[@TylerG-f5v]

Fort myers, we lost power at 11:00, been sitting on the patio watching this right now

[@jfavignano]

Hope they restore it soon, I have family in that area

[@j_dubb534]

Sarasota here, I lost power around 8 just before the eye hit us.

[@davegarski1548]

Just fantastic, Jeff. It's early Thursday morning after Milton here in east Orlando. Mostly fared uneventful except for a few power flickers about an hour ago. Thanks so much for posting these videos. Hopefully, we are now at the end of hurricane season 2024.

[@cossiefordman720]

I’m over here in Scotland and I even feel horrible for Floridians having to suffer from Hurricane Milton’s wraith, it’s 7:22am as of writing this and I’m keeping tabs on live updates with the storm 😔🙏🏻

[@jaymac7203]

Same in Yorkshire 😢

[@j_dubb534]

Sarasota Fl here, where it made landfall. That was a storm I don't wish anyone to ever go through, being in the center of the eye was weird. It went from 120 mph winds to nothing, no wind, no rain, it was very quiet and it was around 8:30ish and nobody had power, so it was dark as well. After about an hr the craziness started again but 120 mph winds going the opposite way.

[@williamPSea]

I've met the USAF Hurricane Hunters in person in Birmingham, AL. They are awesome. Even got the opportunity to tour their C-130. Awesome experience.

[@gaboki]

That’s an E model cockpit the J is pure digital, if you really wanna be gangster start in the correct order 3,4,2,1

[@williamPSea]

I was gonna say this is a different version than what I toured. Still an awesome plane.

Pray for Florida

[@KevinRowe-v1h]

Just love your videos Jeff. Your enjoyment and passion is obvious to all. Please keep up the great work 👍

[@thenikonjones]

Very nice Jeff! Been flying this version of the Herc a lot in the sim lately. It's not bad at all. I am part of the Blackbird test team currently working on the C-130J. It's gonna be an awesome addition to the sim once it's complete. Thanks for sharing this and hope all is well there in Florida.

[@jfavignano]

Very nice! If they want they can shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@Itallianmobboss]

Will it come to Xbox?

[@SocalThero]

Great Video as the others Jeff. Hoping everyone is getting through safely the last of the Hurricane. Been enjoying the last few videos of flying through them and it simulating just how strong these things are. Thanks for bringing this to us to watch from the Sim.

[@northsidecoolguy5041]

That was a very tricky landing Jeff and you nailed it!

[@JerodM]

I had a job on Altus AFB cleaning up the bird droppings in the hangars. Altus is a training base for the C-130, so seeing these both in the hangars I was cleaning and doing the touch and go drills all day was so great. I never got tired of it. It made the bird poo not so crappy...lol.

[@Jared_Wignall]

These videos are really cool. Hope you’re doing well Jeff, have a great night and take care!

[@ed-mo7ov]

I was stationed at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS when I was in the Air Force. We had the C130 hurricane hunters stationed there.

[@chevy29farming20]

Great video as always, love it. I hope everyone is doing good over there with that hurricane going on, stay safe.

[@Merryoffseason]

Great Vid Jeff! Thanks for covering some of the storm even in MSFS!

[@spenerosa]

Thank you for doing this. I've follwed you for a long time. I love the videos, and your piloting skills are excellent. We have the floridians in our prayers, and we are hoping for the best. Great stuff. Thank you again, sir 🫡

Hey Jeff made it through the hurricane 🌀 A lot of people lost their lives it will definitely be one for the book

[@TheAMcDoom]

Yes. Finally Hurricane Hunter flight doing it right flying a low level mission with the correct aircraft.

[@ShadierFaun-rs4zn]

I love this aircraft. I was mad when they turned my base into a cybersecurity base. I enlisted the same year the Air Force decided to change a lot of bases over. I wish they would go back to how it was.

Yah this is a trying year it seem Hopefully for all things can get better and recovery is speedy and swift to help and heal where it needed. Light the candle 🕯 of hope from TX Take care everyone and stay safe out there.

[@JerodM]

Thank for this content, Jeff.

[@GlenCychosz]

I went through the eye of a typhoon. I was on Guam and the eye passed over. I went outside. There was a salt mist in the air and not much wind. After that the wind started to pick back up. BBQ party after the storm.

[@i-have-no-name42069]

Love these videos, Jeff.

[@captainicelander3898]

Great vid man! CS Hercules looks not bad. I'm not sure though that you would hear cracks and breaks in the cockpit while flying lol. Awsome footage from that flight bud. I mean its the 2020 but still, looks amazing! Rock n roll !

[@sixpest]

C- 130 is such a classic aircraft I have a love for the super large prop aircraft 👍 They dont make em like they used too 😉 Also Jeff Have a great night my man! Thanks for the bed time video

[@CarsonCrist5]

Great videos on the hurricanes Jeff! I do my flight training out of Punta Gorda so great to see you flying out of there! Unfortunately not much flying for me lately with these back to back hurricanes 🤣

[@hyper_gaminy]

Howdy Jeff, I'd like to say. That I hope you get somewhere safe if you live in Florida. That goes for everyone in Florida but I wanted to say that. I'm concerned for the people in Florida so thought I'd say that. And great video!

[@afishwithnogills6396]

The c-130 is such a menacing looking airplane regardless of it’s purpose.

[@FpvFlyz1974]

You should do a how to fly series like the basics to flying airliners and stuff

[@davekenney3693]

Jeff your so good at this kind of stuff great job

That C130 has the NP2000 props on it. I actually keep the inventory for the C130 Np2000 props.

[@jfavignano]

Awesome

[@lifestyle5173]

The older variants have the NP2000s right? I see they advertised this one as the J model which is equipped with the Dowty R391, looks like the avionics are from previous models though.

[@gm5957]

@@lifestyle5173 the NP2000 are the new. We just finishing installing them on planes. Not all c130s are getting them but navy and airforce are both using them.

[@nukacola8026]

That c13p is my favorite cargo plane in the world looks so good in the sim but how does a plane survive a hurricane like that

[@brianv1988]

I got hit directly by this hurricane and some damage to house no power since 10 pm and I can barely wash this video because of interference with telecommunication towers So I'm down to buffering every so often but other than that I survived

[@jfavignano]

glad you are okay!

[@KelseyDogBlog]

Didn't watch with the audio on, so maybe you explained this as you flew. The sim should be delivering moderate to severe turbulence in cloud. I noticed past flights in "Gonzo", you encountered turbulence. Did you have it switched off for this session?

[@jfavignano]

nope the hurricane had made landfall and the upper winds were not as strong as it was before

[@ColumbusCupKid]

Is this plane worth the money now? I like flying in cockpit view.

[@jfavignano]

I personally think it's worth 20 bucks, the original asking price was too high

[@janusz4156]

70 years of C-130 in 2024.

[@jcook107]

That one is a different product than the original with no cockpit I believe?

[@jfavignano]

there is just an exterior model and then there is this version, the one I linked is the one I am using

[@jcook107]

@jfavignano seen lots of reviews on it. It's pretty good, especially for captain sim.

[@shinkicker404]

So is this aircraft actually… decent enough? Or is it puddle depth?

[@erikwilliam1254]

Would have been nice to see you in-game, but I see you were playing offline for this. With the most amount of people I have seen in one area, I can understand why, considering if they saw and knew who you were, they might pester you. I was hanging around KMCF Macdill Afb just South of KTPA Tampa Intl flying around in a C-160R Transport Allianz Red Cross R90 livery. I don't have the C-130J I do have the C-130E and would have got the C-130J instead had it been added to the game a few days prior. Hadn't even been a week after I bought the C-130E that the C-130J came out.

[@EstTideSeamen]

Where is the C-130 J? I only see the H&E.

[@jfavignano]

yeah the amount of F-18's that buzz you kinda ruins the whole thing haha. Yeah I waited until this product became something decent.

[@erikwilliam1254]

@@jfavignano I didn't see a whole lot of F18 buzzing going on surprisingly. Lot of paused planes or parked at ramps mostly. I think everyone everyone was mostly sitting around to watch or something. I know I was flying around trying to locate the eye of the storm, without much success. Stayed looking for it for a few hours and quit looking once it got dark.

[@RockStar-nm5jy]

Does the flight simulator have like were you can dump water on brush fires or forest fire

[@shinkicker404]

In 2020, there is one or two external mods that add that… but in 2024, that will be built into the career feature by default.

Is this a GPS route your following from the world map? I cant get it to follow my world map flight plan

yes you have to make a flightplan in the world map before you start a flight. In the C-130 you just need to set the switch as I showed in the video and then NAV as your source on the panel next to the attitude indicator.

[@RAF_USAF.spotter16]

@@jfavignano For me it goes past the NAV option straight to VOR with the switch
