130MPH Cut-off?

[navylife59]

We had a guuy do that next to our Gee Dunk (snack shop). It was amazing how many Sailors, including Officers, who would try and try again to get it up

Where were you Stationed and what was your MOS? I am an Airframes Mechanic doing Special Duty as a C-130 Hercules Load Master. I also work in NATOPS.

Here is some info that might help out anyone who is good with electronics that can alter waveforms. We need a bypass.

Elmendorf AFB, AK... right north of Anchorage and shared a fence with Fort Rich.

I was a 2A3X3A... F-15 Aerospace Technician... crew chief...

Kewl. I have been there a few times. I left a few 'Dont Mess With Texas' stickers there over the past 4 years.

Isn't "Don't Mess With Texas" the slogan for their anti-litter campaign??? lol And, F-15....boo. Real planes have props!

[SquallLHeart]

and real pilots can land on an aircraft carrier with a small <400 ft runway with arresting cables.

I fly in the Herky Jerk C-130. Trash hauler to the masses. It has props. Most of the time there are 4 of them spinning. :O I just completed a run in the Gulf thru those hurricanes/tropical storms.

This pic was taken on Wake Island a little under a year before the Super Typhoon about erased it.

That's cool. I am a crew chief on MC-130Ps here at Eglin AFB. I just completed a run through the "other" Gulf through the sandbox..lol. I enjoy the 1964-69 hunk o' junks.

[navylife59]

Ours were built in 1990-1992 period. One A/C in our Squadron, 164763, went on to become the Navy/Marine Corps Blue Angles C-130 'Fat Albert'.

I seen an F-15 do that... it's hydraulics failed and had to take the cable. Nice sparks show.

WTF is the MC?

[L_TrAiN]

The MC is the (Special Operations) designator. It performs inflight helo re-fueling and infil/exfil of special operation forces to be short. Here are some pics.

The 'T' in C-130T stands for trash hauler. It hauls helos, T-38's, mini-subs, bulldozers, road graders, boats, and hot chicks on the NAS Sigonella Girls Softball Team!

[navylife59]

This is a T-38 (Swiss F-8) loaded in a C-130T.

[L_TrAiN]

That is by far the craziest thing I have seen loaded in a herk! Awesome pics. How was the load????? lol

[navylife59]

Easy. It is loaded on 2 section (wings/gear on bottom, plane on top) 10,000lbs aluminum jig. It loads straight in from a special dolly. The exhaust velocity stacks come within 2 inches of the 245 bulkhead, the canopy just barely clears the ADS chute pendulum, and the static/pitot tube FS0 is within a few inches of the ramp. Definately more than 492 inches. Contractor ground crews do all of the loading and help with chaining down.

I maxed out my tC on the way from Baltimore area to NYC. I did 120+ for about 1/2 hour next to this Lexus SC coupe(i think) follow by a Mazda 3(my boy) I had to keep slowing down cuz his car cut of at around 120. I made it to NYC in under 2/ 1/2hours Normal ride can be 3-5hours (depend on traffic) that was fun. Glad I didn't get cought. Fun.

i heard to bypass the cut off would be to upgrade the ECU i dont know if thats true.. either way it sounds pricey.

[Nick06tC]

The real cutoff is 127MPH. The car wont go faster than that.
You do NOT need a standalone to go faster. You simply need an Emanage ultimate. it has a rev limiter and speed cut defeat.

I dont reccomend it unless moving to europe, but thats your option.
