Only flying C-123K Provider almost crashes at Geneseo New York airshow

[@Dippydawg300thow]

I was at the Airshow today. The aircraft with the help of a left cross wind temporarily left the runway grass onto the adjacent dirt before straightening out and resuming their roll out. Pilots and crew are all safe and sound. And the Aircraft was not harmed

Thank you for the proper explanation Austin. I know the crew very well. They are well trained and I'm sad at some of these comments. Unexpected crosswinds can happen. They didn't "almost crash" as the video indicates, although for people just watching, I'm sure it looked scary.

@@IceTTom Each engine has 2'500 horsepower, and also there are so few left because there were only 300 made in 1949, shortly after that the C-130 came into existence.

[@SBCBears]

@@tmaster3332 They also have a jet engine hanging under each wing. Not usable in this case, but for assisting take-off in difficult conditions. The jets alone are capable of maintaining flight, but for only a short time because of fuel limitation. For instance, losing both main engines after gaining 500ft AGL upon take-off, they could circle and land, but with no time to spare. I know this because I was aboard when it happened. 😬 It's an interesting account, but I was not part of the air crew so I never learned the cause of the engine problems. I was a jumper on a training mission. We just moved on to another aircraft, but one of the pilots said we had 30 seconds of fuel left upon landing. Good times, good times.

@pablosway That’s because you’re obviously not a pilot and don’t understand how aircraft and piloting works. You absolutely don’t understand the difference in winds and wind gusts either. That being said, how do you not see the wind gust lifting the left wing while the aircraft is at low speed. This causes the control surfaces to be less responsive and ineffective at controlling the aircraft. He used differential thrust to control the aircraft after the strong wing gust lifted up the left wing and rotated the aircraft to the right, sending it off the runway.

[@swerwerindiewind7334]

There was a couple that had the jet assist. They would practice both day and night. At night only flares lined up the runway. This was during the last few years of Vietnam.
