Very old news... It was a C-130A that was tested on the USS Forestall in the early 1960s...

You are about 40 years behind the times with this tidbit...

They must not have been flown much or they would have exceeded their fatigue life....

Still, its certainly an awesome aircraft... and I beleive Zephyr picked it as the all time most important aircraft....
