STOL Grassoppers t/o & land under 100 feet dynmicpara A great video proving our point: if these STOL aircraft once in the air can get over 200+ mph....you have to ask what's the benefit of more expensive, louder, slower, hotter exhaust helicopters? A diesel piston-engined STOL plane can be engine exhaust muffled to be ZERO offering no MANPADS SAM infared signature and be co-located with the ground maneuver units they are providing maneuver air support. The words of former Iraqi Coalition Authority Director of Air Ops, Major General George Molan, Australian Defence Forces: "Even in this, the highest technology war in history, there is a role for a man in a light manoeuvrable aircraft who can use his initiative, report and transfer data, remain on station with the ground troops day and night and most importantly, establish a personal relationship with the warriors. I do not accept the argument that a manned aircraft cannot be used ... due to the threat. I believe that this argument has been confused by the control of training and operations of the aircraft by the U.S. Air Force in Iraq. The threat to the pilot of ... aircraft in Iraq operations ... is far less than to the equivalent Soldier on the ground in an equally expensive and complicated armoured vehicle. The benefit in having a pilot in the loop in talking to troops on the ground is priceless, particularly in less highly technically advanced armed forces. The threat to a pilot manoevring low to optimise his effectiveness is not at all unreasonable in an Iraq-like insurgency. Threat is relative and should not be judged by highly sophisticated U.S. standards." http://www.geocities.com/usarmyaviationdigest/grasshoppersmustreturn.htm http://www.combatreform2.com/killerbees2.htm In WW2, the 11th Airborne did an airborne troop insertion with L4 Grasshopper Cubs... http://www.geocities.com/paratroop2000/paratrooper.htm Want to know more?

Super STOL C-130 Mishap I have seen this video several places, many don't tell the story behind it, and many seem to have it wrong. Operation Credible Sport, also known as Operation Honey Badger, was a United States military operation plan in late 1980 to rescue the hostages held in Iran using C-130 cargo planes modified with rocket engines. The Credible Sport operation was to follow the dramatic failure of Operation Eagle Claw in which a C-130 Hercules and a Sea Stallion helicopter collided in the Iranian desert, killing 8 servicemen. Credible Sport was abandoned after the election of Ronald Reagan as President in November, 1980. The Credible Sport plan called for highly modified C-130 Hercules cargo planes to land in a soccer stadium not far from the American Embassy in Tehran and airlift the hostages out. Three aircraft were modified under a top secret project at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida to YMC-130H configuration with rocket packages blistered onto the forward and aft fuselage, which theoretically enabled the planes to land and take off within the confines of the sports arena. During a demonstration at Duke Field, Eglin Auxiliary Field 3, on October 29, 1980, one of the modified Hercules fired its braking rockets a few seconds early (this seems to be wrong, see note below). The aircraft suffered an extremely heavy landing, tearing off the starboard wing, setting off a fire, and resulting in the airframe, serial 74-1683, being written off. Despite this, the entire crew survived. This failure, coupled with the defeat of Jimmy Carter by Ronald Reagan in the presidential election on November 4, 1980, led to the cancellation of this rescue mission plan. The hostages were subsequently released concurrent with Reagan's inauguration in January 1981. The other two airframes, serials 74-1686 and 74-2065, were stripped of their rocket modifications and returned to regular airlift duties. In 1988 74-1686 was placed on display at the Robins Air Force Base museum, Georgia. As of 2005, 74-2065 is assigned to the 317th Airlift Group, 15th Expeditionary Mobility Task Force, at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. Note One of the test pilots during the Credible Sport program elaborated on the test failure, the test with the footage now available. The pilot states that during the test the braking rockets did NOT fire prematurely, but right on time. It was the descent-arresting rockets, rockets that were supposed to fire after the braking rockets to slow the drop of the aircraft as the aircraft's forward velocity was halted and the wings ceased to provide lift that failed to fire. Looking at the video, it would appear that the braking rockets should be fired after the aircraft touched down to quickly stop the landing roll. However, the braking rockets were supposed to be fired while in the air, then the descent arresting rockets would fire to allow a controllable and almost vertical landing. It was these rockets that failed, with the crash landing and aircraft breakup resulting.. Note; the naration seems to be wrong on a major point in the video. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Credible_Sport http://crediblesport.com/ Tags: Iran Iranian Hostage Super STOL C-130 YMC-130H Rescue President Carter RATO JATO Rocket |

Valdez airshow Bush class STOL competition 2008 Alaska This is a no frills presentation of the 2008 Valdez air show (Bush class) with scores as were posted on http://www.valdezalaska.org/events/flyIn/flyIn.html I have to apologize for the substandard quality of the film, for some reason I forgot my tripod at home. The four place Supercub is competing in this video. Each person had 2 landings and takeoffs, The best landing and takeoff distances were added together and halved and that was their final score. This video contains the best of the 2 landing/takeoff attempts so as to keep this video under 10 minuets. The weather was very hot that day. And there was not very much wind, just a very small breeze now and then. Check my main page for the other airplane class competitions at the 2008 air show.
