Seeing this Hercules reminds me of a funny story. Once I took my then business partner Rob for a flight at Buttonville airport, and when we landed I was instructed to hold short at the active runway. So I stopped at the designated place, at which point Rob said "Why are we stopping here?", and just then this massive C-130, on its takeoff roll, rotated just a few feet from our front windshield. Rob swore and probably soiled his pants too. He hadn't noticed it screaming down the runway towards us.
