TOP SECRET AIRCRAFT PROJECTS: YMC-130H

YMC-130H were three modified Lockheed Hercules Aircraft for Top Secret "Operation Credible Sport", for second Iran hostage crisis rescue attempt.YMC-130H

One of the measures considered for a second hostage rescue attempt in Iran was a project to develop a "Super STOL" aircraft, to be flown by Combat Talon crews, that would use a soccer stadium near the US Embassy
as an improvised landing field. Called Credible Sport, the project acquired three C-130H transports from an airlift unit in late August 1980, one as a test bed and two for the mission, and modified them on an accelerated basis.

Designated as the XFC-130H, the aircraft were modified by the installation of 30 rockets in five sets: eight firing forward to stop the aircraft, eight downward to brake its descent rate, eight rearward for takeoff assist, four mounted on the wings to stabilize them during takeoff transition, and two at the rear of the tail to prevent it from striking the ground because of over-rotation. Other STOL features included a dorsal and two ventral fins on the rear fuselage, double-slotted flaps and extended ailerons, a new radome, a tailhook for landing aboard an aircraft carrier, and Combat Talon avionics, including a TF/TA radar, a defensive countermeasures suite, and a Doppler radar/GPS tie-in to the aircraft's inertial navigation system.

Of the three aircraft, only one received full modification. The program abruptly ended when it crashed during testing on October 29, 1980, and international events soon after rendered another rescue attempt moot.

Wikipedia is in crisis, Wordpress, Blogger, Blogs generally are choked, the other social destroyed, in Italy, most of the people who were unfamiliar with the Internet, the web now that they have opened the Facebook page and remain there all day, it's like driving a spaceship and send it with the engine instead of the antigravity sent to their coal.

The anomaly Facebook is engulfing the world Internet and We, those who tried to take and to know that we can do? Watch? It seems that there are more readers on the internet, all taken to write text messages, playing or non-knowledge of Facebook, intrigued by what my friend says Facebook is a blinkered, a limit to freedom of thought and knowledge, but all This is unlikely to be implemented, and if they will be too late, only the majors and not the individual will have the strength to stand up and be able to be important, the freelancce, Bloggers who for years have destabilized, and tried to give up open people's minds, will certainly be tired of fighting the windmills ...
