Amazing what can be done with a cargo plane.

Awe-some!
I think it's more thrilling to watch a big girl like that dance than a hotter little f-16 or whatever.
That man has skills!

I'm sure that, according to the computer "you can't do that".

That's a lot cooler than any of my waffle butted flight experience with a 130.  For those of you who have caught a flight as a passenger in one of those, you'll understand my statement.

A very cool example of professionals at work (both the flight crew and the folks that developed the "J" upgrades).  I was out of breath just watching - those new engines and props are amazing.

Thanks for the link, Jim  :)
