nacmacfeegle 0 #9 February 10, 2003 Your thinking something else, G222s definitely fly, I've jumped one.... I'm thinking C130, with the inboard engines obscured by the foreground jumpers.

Doesn't look the same to me. The fisheye makes it difficult to judge though. The C130-theory states that the jumpers are covering the inboard engines...

pack40 0 #19 February 10, 2003 G-222 / C-27 Spartan maybe G-222 is a STOL transport deigned and produced in accordance with the NATO requirement for a V/STOL transport. After the requirement was abandoned the G-222 became a more conventional design, looking like a smaller, twin-engined C-130. It is considered as one of the most successful medium range transprts.The USAF bought 10 of these planes and operated them as the C-27 ?Spartan?. It was acquired by the USAF to meet Air Force requirements for a rugged, medium size airland transport. The aircraft is particularly suited for short-to-medium range tactical operations into semi-prepared airfields as short as 600 meters. The G-222 is an all-weather, day/night transport with capabilities to perform medical evacuation missions. It can carry 24 litters and four medical attendants, or 34 ground troops. It has a cargo capacity of more than 54 cubic meters, or 5,400 kg. http://www.tayyareci.com/digerucaklar/italya/g222.as p http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/c-27.htm http://www.lmaeronautics.com/products/airmobility/c-27/ OVER Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #20 February 10, 2003 IMO, its a C-130... The two inboard engines are blocked from view by the jumpers... The tail section is the give-way. It does not match the 123's, 160's, or the 222's. Also, the 160 does not have the underwing fuel tanks that are standard on all 130's JoshAll that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 #21 February 10, 2003 It HAS to be a C-130. Everything is pointing that way. It cannot be a C-160, look at the main gear wells. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinker 0 #22 February 10, 2003 This is most definately a C-130. Jumpers blocking, underwing tanks in the right locale. And look at the shape of the end of the fuselage aft of the elevator. -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
