Lockheed C-130 Hercules Austrian Air Force * Start-Up & Take-Off * Low Pass at Bern!!

The Austrian Air Force Lockheed C-130 Hercules is seen starting-up its Allison turboprop engines and taking-off at Bern in Switzerland. The pilots preformed a spectacular low pass!!
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules 8T-CB was built in 1968, a good old aircraft! It left a characteristic trail of black smoke behind it. The impressive four-engine turboprop "Herky Bird" can carry over 20 tons at one go and has the ability to land on short and unprepared strips. Listen to the distinctive roar which makes the heart of any plane enthusiast beat faster!

None other like the mighty C-130 Hercules. Perfect startup and take off procedure. I love the roar of those engines. Very overwhelming indeed. Salutes to the Austrian Air Force. Cheers to Lockheed.

[@TheHDAviation]

What a fantastic catch, the C-130 is one impressive aircraft to witness. That low pass was awesome!!

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you very much! It was the 1st time that a C-130 from Austria visited Bern :)

[@Wolverines77]

My dad was the 1st Sergeant for the USAF 37th TAS out of Rhein Main AB (81-4). They would fly down to Aviano AB about 4 times a year to work with the Army Airborne stationed out of Camp Darby for about a 3 to 5 day deployment. Each and every time they came home, the entire deployment formation, usually all but 2 aircraft, would be allowed to do a low approach on the base side runway (Frankfurt Intl shared the runway) one-by-one and when they flew past their squadron building they would do a swooping 180 until the last aircraft did their 180 and then land one by one about 30 seconds apart. Taken from the USAAC returning bomber formations in WW2. It was so very cool, I so wish I had some video of that. Such an amazing aircraft, the C-130... I am willing to bet it will outlast the B-52's in the USAF active inventory...

[@ph6652]

Magnificent! Nothing works as hard and steady as a C-130. 😊

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you for your comment! The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is indeed a legendary workhorse in aviation. Known for its versatility and reliability, the C-130 has been a staple in military operations around the world for decades. Its ability to operate in various conditions and its impressive cargo capacity make it a truly magnificent aircraft. Your appreciation for the C-130 is well deserved! 😊

[@BigFloppyPandas]

I miss working on the legacy model C-130s. They’re true work horses.

[@prestonsnowbird5410]

The C-130 is one of the remarkable airplanes ever made!

[@gregmatthies8128]

I thought we got rid of all H models and only half J in our fleet?

[@shariqhasan6220]

This is one of those few aircraft that one can just instantly recognize just by its sound you can hear from a distance.

[@felicity243]

My first time flying was in a C130, and I was walking around and sitting in the cockpit with the pilots❤getting spoiled with snacks enjoying the view❤ super exciting

[@matthiashaenni]

That sounds like an incredible first flying experience in a C130! Getting to walk around, sit in the cockpit, and enjoy snacks while taking in the view must have been truly unforgettable. The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is known for its versatility, ruggedness, and capability to operate in various roles. It's amazing that you had such a special experience on board. Thanks for sharing your wonderful memory! ✈️🌟

[@asmongoldsmouth9839]

Growing up on the Canadian air base, this sound is ingrained into my DNA. I miss the air base.

[@XJarhead360]

My first three plane rides were in a C-130. The first one was from MCB Camp Pendleton to MCB 29 Palms. It was a short ride but I loved it. The entire time I was glued to the porthole because it was a big thrill for this 19 YO Marine. My 2nd plane ride was in a 130 again from Okinawa to Wake Island to MCAS in Oahu, with the final leg to El Toro. Finally, I rode from Chu Lai in 'Nam to MCB in Japan (I can't remember the name). From there I rode in a C-141 to El Toro. Since I was going on emergency leave all seats were booked. I straddled my sea bag the 15 hours it took to get home.

[@martimdesouzajunior7585]

One just flew by overhead not to far from my place in southern Brazil at 28,000 feet. Argentinian Air Force. Couldn't see it it but heard its beautiful hum... very intense even from a far.

[@Rocketman88002]

The unmistakable sound of Hamilton's slicing the air. I first flew in an early model C-130 in Vietnam to my duty station in Phu Bai. I scheduled a couple of lifts to move the soldiers in my gun battery unit from Holloman A.F.B. to Minnespolis/Saint Paul in a C-130. One of the legs on the way up was over the main street of the town I grew up in.

[@mylosairplanefan]

What a stunning visitor! Awesome video, Matt! :) Well done!

[@rodneyfridley4851]

Fantastic video. The only thing missing was the smell of JP-4 burning. I was a prop mechanic on C-130E's in the Air Force(1971-1974). Being airborne in the 130 was always the thing I knew I would miss when I went back to civilian life.

[@zaphod22]

Great footage, thanks. A few days back two of these flew in staggered formation over my property. Truly amazing to watch the steep left bank they made as they flew south. Surprisingly quiet

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you for your nice comment. Much appreciated. It was great to see this C-130 Hercules at Bern!

[@jhonnygranja2127]

Saludos desde Ecuador.Hermoso mirarlo al "FABULOSO HERCULES"Podria mirarlo siempre y no me cansaria,el sonido de sus motores son "musica para los oidos"Gracias por estas tomas.

[@TheMightySpotter]

Very nice, Love the C130

[@mmbmbmbmb]

Great footage of this fierce as well as clumsy looking plane. Thank God it's "mission" was peaceful ...

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you Karin!!

[@BharatSecurityWatch]

Nice old bird ❤️

[@paulcrocker8600]

I HAD A NICE FLIGHT ON A C130 IN 1970 TO BERMUDA WITH A 3 MONTH LAY OVER... NICE...18YEARS OLD...NAVY VP SQUADRON DEPLOYMENT...

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you for this input. What a great and unique flight experience. Thanks for watching!

[@BAVBavarianAviationVideonews]

Alter Schwede was für ein epischer Fang!!! Daumen hoch und schöne Grüße aus Bayern! ;)

[@austrianemotionalman]

Before delivery the 'Hercs' were overhauled and updated by Marshall of Cambridge Aerospace LTD, Great Britain, to extend lifetime and fit to the Austrian requirements. So, in airospace language, good as new. In 2003.

[@shusky59]

This 'Herc' was first delivered to the RAF in 1968, worked on it in the 80's when it was based at RAF Lyneham. 🇬🇧

[@MadeiraAirport]

Really nice catch Matt!!

[@matthiashaenni]

Thanks my friend ✈️👍

We in the US lost a C-130 hurricane hunter a month ago on takeoff from Savannah GA on it way to the boneyards for decommission. took off and soon thereafter stalled and crashed into a busy road.. All 9 on board perished.. Sad day

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

I love that sound it makes!!!

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you very much!

[@jamescade5848]

Man that brought back memories! Worked H’s & E’s for 16 years before I got stuck on AWACS 🙁. He never did turn on his taxi lights?

[@ChrisZoomER]

That thing sounds almost like a jet when doing a high speed pass!

[@bharatimusale1469]

Fantastic I enjoyed 😊💕🎧

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you very much!

[@TrevorLedgeway]

[@colinvanrensburg4652]

Going on for 46 years since i last rode in one of those beauts.

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you for sharing your nostalgic memory! The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is truly a legendary aircraft with a long history of service. Did you know that the C-130 Hercules has been in continuous production since 1954, making it one of the longest continuously produced military aircraft in history? It's amazing to see these beauties still in action after all these years. Hopefully, you'll have the chance to ride in one again soon!

[@johnosbourn4312]

GOT LOVE THE SOUND OF THE LEGACY HERKY!!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you so much! This Herky was a spectacular visit at Bern!

[@katieolson1517]

That Fokker aircraft behind the c-130 was like REMEMBER ME!!!! I WILL NOT DIE!

[@myunconsciousismine4694]

One of these bad boys flying about over Newcastle and Berwick tonight and here in Edinburgh a C-17 globetrotter just passed my flat very low 🤨

Wow, those Allisons sound awesome!! Liked!

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you very much!

[@Rhaman68]

I flew the 1957 series RC-130 and AC-130 Spectre from 1970 to 1975. It’s old, slow, cumbersome with, yikes, turboprop power, expensive to run, and because of lack of interest in finding a replacement jet powered aircraft, it still flying with no end in sight. It’s partners, the B-52 and KC-135, are in the same club.

[@bigroy38]

Ex-FIL flew some of the first Spectre missions in’Nam.

[@austrianemotionalman]

Well there is something new there... It´s called the Airbus A400M. No need for jet power in that class of carrying smaller things. Like humvee okay, Leo 2s not so. How I see it..

[@bobcarrado899]

And if anybody remembers Herky Hill and The Herky Hootch at Cam Ranh Bay please comment.

[@jasontengan4554]

Is that a common start up sequence 3421? If I remember correctly, they did it on the 141 also, pilot choice?

[@bigroy38]

Now you can buy an old Herc like him on the Civilian market.

[@femmytubongkasih1875]

pesawatnya sangat bagus

[@kobischmitz]

hoi...mit tief Flug und alles....glaube ich habe etwas verpasst....mach so weiter....lg

[@matthiashaenni]

Danke!! Ja, da hast Du leider etwas verpasst. Aber Du kannst ja mein Video angucken ;)

[@AndreiTupolev]

According to Wikipedia, it's ex RAF that one, then.

[@matthiashaenni]

Yes, true. Built in 1968... a 50 years old plane!!

[@marklewis8242]

Bit late to the party here, but any c130k aircraft will be ex RAF, as it was a RAF specific version. I worked on them for a while, and although the J is easier to service, I preferred the K, as it just seemed more mechanical, like the difference between a manual and an auto gearbox. Oh, and they make a better noise too.

[@zzhawker]

They are ex RAF c130k's i think.

[@Wolverines77]

I wonder if those are the old "E" models from when the 37th upgraded to the "J" model about 15 years ago?

[@shusky59]

Ex -RAF C130K Overhauled by Marshalls of Cambridge.

[@cesaralvesdacosta9396]

At 1:00 a Dodge Ram fire truck in Switzerland? Interesting!

[@johnosbourn4312]

Yeah, I noticed that too!

[@thadlm2698]

@waychillbro Two years later, that Dodge Ram ain’t working.

[@Entity_BlackRed777]

In the future, I'll by a C-130K before it retires, for around 10 to 30 million dollars, then customize it and get rid of the radar thing (To not appear in military radar, or else they may get confused.), and do some art, like BLACKRED, and also it will be my house, and where I will live.

Thank you! No it is from Austria our neighbour country. Cheers!

Looks so dangerous with those huge spinning blades (I know it’s ok)

[@jamesaustin8209]

Why is "Austrian Air Force" written in English and not German, on the side of the plane?

[@matthiashaenni]

An impressive aircraft!

[@jacoblibbey4348]

why is no.1 engine is not the first to start - up ??

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you for your observation! In the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, the engines are typically started in a specific sequence to ensure proper balance and performance during the start-up process. Your attention to detail is much appreciated! 🛫
