I get to work around the HC-130 and AC-130 flight crews and
aircraft.
They are both the same basic ariframe with different modifications.
Both
planes handle very differently and have a staggering difference in
standard
operating procedures. Sure one pilot could fly both but knowing where
that
plane should be and what it should be doing in any given instance during
an
operation is a whole other matter. The mind set is just to far apart
between the two. In combat you really dont want a pilot who has to
juggle 2
sets of procedures in his head like that anyway. I dont see this
changing
much in the future. Just my 1/2 cent.
