Sorry, no rubber decks either

I bet the C130 had a bit of time amended on its fatigue life!

Fairly soft landing for a Fat Albert, that's what they are built for! A hook would have probably stressed the airframe more.

Surely there is only one Fat Albert and that belongs to the Blue Angels, I liked "Look Ma no Hook"
