Largest aircraft to land on a carrier

USNavy #149798
KC-130F
Used for carrier suitability trials on the USS Forrestal making 29 touch and goes, and 21 landings and unassisted takeoffs just off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida. The aircraft was being studied for use as a Carrier Onboard Delivery transport. The refueling pods were removed from the aircraft for the tests. This C-130 made history as the largest aircraft to land and take-off from an aircraft carrier but never became operational.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "iPog"
Had a new Ltjg. check into the command. Not too long into his stint with us, he was rooming up with a fellow LT. One night, he decided to piss on his roommate while he was sleeping - a little too much booze, and a lack of SA brought this on. So in keeping with the latest gadget trend, he was named iPog which is short for "I pissed on Gibbs" (Gibbs being the pilot on the receiving end)
