Cover: No, this is not some masterpiece of digital composition. On October 30, 1963, Lt. James H. Flatley III, USN, landed a C-130 on the USS Forrestal 21 times, following 29 touch-and go 1andings. The landings were a test to see if a C-130 could be used to deliver large cargos to a carrier at sea, cargos too large to be carried by a C-2 Greyhound. Flatley made 21 unassisted landings and takeoffs (without JATO) at various weights, from empty to almost full. This is a testimony to the C-130's design as well as Flatley's Piloting. Flatley, received the Distinguished Flying Cross. Photo credit: US Navy via Julius Alexander at Lockheed Martin Marietta. Large Cover (slow: 100K).
