Guest Maj Millard Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 The C-130 gear collapse is interesting, the main gear retracts up vertically by screw jacks. Once we were leaving Darwin during Air force days in the 70s in a fully loaded herc, one engine failed to start normally, (right outboard from memory). We did several runs down the long runway trying to windmill start it with no success. Finally on the third or fourth run the pilot informed us we were going this time regardless. We departed with the engine windmilling but not running, but it did start in-flight shortly after, for an uneventual return to Williamtown..............................Maj...

You should write a book Maj, of all the times you've experienced aviation things like that. It would be an interesting read. I bet Nev's experiences over the years, would be interesting as well.
