Hi C130 user,
after long time use of c130J-Type I would like to fligh some logistic route in Antarctica and greenland. For this reason I test the LC130 type and I am astonished about the performance differen between c130J and lc130 types.
Equipped with max cargo and max fuel climb speed not more 140kts and climb rate 500 -1000 ft/min.
Under these conditions I am only able to reach FL 160.
Indicated Cruise speed not more than 170 kts.
Are there anybody who can confirm these observations/performance data?
Is there so big difference between J and LC Type?
