The Cool Video Thread
Paddles:
1:19 - wing level out of turn
1:34 - touchdown
Just 15 seconds in groove. Perfect!
And here's another video with quite rare view of the stick and throttles in action (5:53 to 6:00)
SpazSinbad:
Nice find 'PADDLES'. Here is an edited version with just the control movements - slowed down to one quarter of the original FAST video speed to better show I hope more realistic 'real' time movements - but I can only guess. Anyway...
GOONIE:
Very cool find Paddles and Spaz. 8)
In the video you can really see the pilot "walking the throttles" with small movement on the individual motors, moving the left throttle then the right up and back to make power corrections. I was trying to see how and if the pilot was responding to the burble, hard to tell.
Orion, nice AMA on reddit. Lot of top gun references ::). My buddy flies hornets, and it is always a AMA when we get together for a beer.

On The Deck With The Hercules Uploaded on Aug 12, 2014
"In 1963, a US Navy aircrew made twenty-one full-stop landings aboard the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal—in a four-engine KC-130F tanker that didn’t have a tailhook. This video documents one the most unusual test programs ever flown in a Hercules. The video, taken from film, also includes footage of Marine Corps KC-130Fs refueling and Navy LC-130Fs Ski-Hercs in action."

This squadron does the fixed wing carrier suitability trials with obvious stress testing of the aircraft in all kinds of odd landing situations to try to mimic on land what may happen out at sea:
