I don't know if this has been posted here before, but I thought you might find it interesting.  It's a C-130 landing and taking off from an aircraft carrier.

That is incredible. I had to watch it several times. I'm surprised it could get up enough airspeed to take off.

Thinks.....wonder if I can do that in FSX?.................

Thanks Wing, I knew valkyrie, I was lost on the other. The front looks very similar to the delta dart style. The 4 engines on the delta wing i had not ever seen before.
