C-130's are turboprops, they have jets turning shafts, geared down to turn the props. Notice that even with the JATO's firing the tips of the blades were causing vorticies to form in spirals around the engines. I'd take that ride!!

Wow - I just went back and read through pages 8-14 (sorry about all you in 1-7)
My god we are an eclectic group!
Also there seems to be a fair amount of folks from or in the military (don't know where those damn smilies are with the flags when I need 'em but ...). (Also, please don't interpret this as any kind of political slant. I very much appreciate all our folks have to do, but hate that they have to do it.)
As for me, I'm just and investment banker in the western US.
Cheers!
