Ever had a Hercules Transport Jet on your tail as your Plane was landing?

Question

Amazing thing. It was right behind us!

Answer 1

C130 Hercules??/

Answer 2

Kadena, Okinawa. Summer of 1991.  I was in a 152 cessna.  Turned very short base and final, as requested by ATC, put it on the ground and got off the runway real quick. Only time I squalled the tires while turning. Yes, I was using aileron and elevater controls while turning to keep all three tires on the ground, since I was still almost flying. Looked back and the C130 was still on a two mile final. Felt bad for abusing the poor cessna.

Answer 3

No, but I was landing a Cessna 150 at Altus AFB, and when I cleared my 6 on final I had a B52 about 2 miles behind me. Even at 2 miles the BUF is one huge aircraft.

Answer 4

C-130 Hercules is not a jet - it's a turbo prop (4 engine military heavy transport used for short take off and landing on rough terrain), but it is a BIG plane.

Answer 5
