Definitely Credible Sport! Even more rockets than usual, can take off and land in a soccer stadium!

Just imagine the prototypes if it was Non-Credible Sport!

I don’t care which variant it is as long as it’s flying full speed up my asshole.

Missed opportunity to call it the IC(y)-130

Not really related, I saw a c-17a globemaster III today over Austin today. Was flying in from DC. Still pretty cool

Plain, simple, 4 fan trash can for me. H model with an eng and a nav, and the square blades because the new ones sound all wrong

Oh yeah the roar of an B-H model has some gravitas to it

That reminds me, I've always wondered why P3 blades had rounded tips and C-130s had square ones.

MC-130J. 100% impossible to prove me wrong

AC-130 (any variation).

Not because of any strategic options, tech innovation, influence on the world or anything traditional.... just the pure disrespect you can give anyone without basic anti air capabilities.

I hear Wagner mercs are huge fans!

I'm just amazed they managed to not only land one on a carrier, but also take off from the spot where they landed.
