You can try lifting 452 passengers and crew with a C-130A, as one did during the evacuation of Saigon, on April 29th 1975. I can't even imagine where they put all those people lol!  :P Tyrion

Unless most of the passengers were small children and infants, there is no way that a C-130A could have carried that many persons. Even taking the small stature of the Vietnese, you would start to excede the Gross takeoff weight at around 300-350 passengers depending on how much fuel was on board. I know that there were C-141's that made emergency evacuations cramed full of people and is the aircraft that should have been referenced.

What's the reference for this story anyway?
