Since others have posted in Horse's thread...

C130 with JATO packs for reduced length take-off and landings. JATO packs are initiated at too high of an altitude resulting in loss of lift. Results are... well obvious. I am told everyone survived.

You may have seen this before, but...

Per the Airman's Information Manual -

FLOATPLANES - GROUND LAUNCH PROCEDURES

1. Invite your best friend with a Ford F-350 and a flat trailer.

2. Load floatplane on flat trailer.

3. Drink lots of beer to remove all fear that your cunning plan will fail resulting in death, injury, destruction of property and revocation of insurance.

4. Incentivise local FSS volunteer fire department with BBQ and claims of regulatory approval of your cunning plan.

5. Ask your now drunk friend to drive truck at excessive speeds while you start floatplane startup checklist.

6. V1 = beer can tossed out window.

7. Vr = realization that only 100m of runway left.

8. Apply max power and aft column.

9. Involuntarily empty beer filled bladder when your float barely misses truck canopy.

actually thats not a bad way to get that DHC2 Beaver up it'll get airborne at 55knots without using flaps . Probably the second most important transport ever built after the C47

I am looking for any kind of information concerning with the Liberation ( 27th Aprile 1945 ) in Italy of my native village Cavarzere. From August 1944 to end April 1945 was more than 260 Allied Forces bombardments by 12th 15th Air Force- 319th , 485th and other BG.

I would like to gather aerial photos /videos / B-26 Marauder, Liberators, aircrafts about the bombing of Cavarzere RR & Road Bridges over Adige River. Cavarzere is located 40 km from Venice between Rivers PO and Adige, in the Po Valley. Also personal records, logs, diaries, memoires, pictures of Vets and their families would also be appreciated.
