Our offshore seismograph crew tried to work for 30 days straight in the Bass Straits, between Australia and Tasmania, without luck. 100' swells were nothing.

Never managed to anchor, much less put our seismograph cable out.

Damn. Never been seasick or airsick. Im pretty sure hundred foot swells would change that that.

I was on duty when a D Model C 130 was doing para drop cargo deployment training on a dirt strip
The pilot hit hard and the damn wingtips seemed like they flexed 4 feet!

He put the power on and up she went
Amazing airplanes

Yep, they are tough birds.

Modify 'em enough and they can take off and land on a soccer field. Or, at least, that was the plan.

I realize that the hostages were released, anyway, but if the hostage rescue mission to Iran had succeeded, it would have been an amazing feat.

For those too young to remember, google Operatio.n Credible Sport.

We did not seriously practice small unit assault tactics back then. Nobody knew how to prep a plane for off airport desert operations. And our leader was a simple minded submariner/farmer. We would do much better today. Delta was about it then.

That’s one tank I wouldn’t want to ride on. Or in.

To afford to buy that minigun.
