A quick statement of the sweetest flying ever.
It involved personal permission from the Station Commander of RAF Lyneham, Group Captain Paul Atherton OBE, a C-130J, night vision goggles, 250 feet of altitude, 210 KTAS, a simulated air drop, no lights (at all - aerodrome lights, a/c lights, etc.), and an ANR headset.You haven't experienced a takeoff until you've done it looking down a runway without any lights. You haven't experienced a landing until you've done one with an unlit runway and no landing lights.
Have you ever been so happy that your throat clogs with joy?
Wow. I even got to thank GC Atherton for the experience. Wow.
