What led the US to take the extraordinary step of landing its largest aircraft on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean

Image
What allows the C-130 to do short landings is the reverse thrust capability of the turboprop engines. These engines have the same power in reverse as they do forward. Totally giving this a thumbs up as I had no idea they landed C-130s on carriers… but somehow the last half of this video seemed to be a completely different, if somewhat related, subject. The power of technology it’s amazing… I can only imagine 100 years from now.. too bad we don’t live that long.. if the inventors of the plane could see it now they would be amazed.. let’s celebrate our past in our present.. awesome and wonderful I work for AMH-1Elmer ( ally) Phillips who was with VX-1 And he was the loadmaster on the C-130 and they landed on the USS Kitty Hawk and was suppose to take off using their Jatos, jet assisted rockets. None of them wanted to try taking off. Their C -130 was later craned off Captain flatly landed 130s on the forestal made History he was our captain on Saratoga on our 1980 med cru

Image
by John A. Cianci, contributing writer on veterans issues March 15 th – Deadline for Veterans Real Estate Tax Applications  If you served in the U.S. Armed Forces from 1947, and were honorably discharged, under Rhode Island law you are entitled to an annual tax credit from your town or city if you own a house.  VETTIP –  Rhode Island law classifies any person who has an honorable discharge served in the Armed Forces since 1947 as a  veteran.  If you present your DD214 and the town or city representative denies to accept your application for the tax exemption, saying  “you are not a veteran or eligible”, contact your local State of Rhode Island Senator or State Representative. To be eligible for this credit, the veteran must bring his or her DD214/discharge papers to the city or town hall and apply for the veteran tax credit. The credit will result in an average savings for veteran from $100 to $500 dollars, annually, on real estate taxes.  Most towns and ci

Ranking NBA's top 50 players in 2022-23 season: Jokic, Giannis battle for No. 1; LeBron falls out of top 10

Prior to the 2022-23 NBA regular season, we published our CBS Sports Top 100 players list . We based that ranking on who we believed was in store for the best season. It was, in other words, a projection. Now that we're coming our of the All-Star break, we don't have to project anymore. We have evidence on which we can base an updated list. So that's what we did, only this time we limited it to the top 50 players.  To be clear, this is not a ranking of who we, as a staff, believe to be the best 50 players in the NBA overall. Rather, these are the 50 players, in order, that we believe are having the best 2022-23 season so far. Keep that distinction in mind as you scroll through.   And with that, let's get to the list. As always, we invite your feedback at @CBSSportsNBA.  50. Brandon Ingram, Pelicans (Preseason rank: 27)
