It's amazing how something that big can be so manoeuvrable.

That is very manoeuvrable, throwing it around and climbing brilliantly. I'm going to show that video to the Bf-110 in CloD and make it feel bad biggrin

Herks routinely do 60 degree bank, 2.5G turns for threat avoidance. It's something to behold in the back of that plane, lemme tell ya!

I've seen the Blue Angels Marine pilots throw "Fat Albert" around like that. Always love to watch it. I'll have to jump in to my Captain Sim Herc, now.

It's got lots of power, a huge wing...should have plenty of maneuverability...when near-empty! Load it with fuel for a round trip and 20k pounds, and it'll still be tossable, but not quite airshow-like! biggrin

You can replicate this in FS2004, just remove the cargo weight, and give yourself only 25% fuel load, and you'll see it can leap into the air easily, climb light a homesick angel! Or a U-2...
