This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

MODERATORS
C130s were designed to operate from relatively short unimproved runways. If the place has enough runway to operate corporate jets, it should have enough for a C130.
EDIT: This place only has enough runway (2998 x 50 ft ) for small Cessna size aircraft, so no jets or C130s.
I reckon a C130 could use it actually. The US Navy landed one on a carrier, which is probably shorter then this runway.
Edit: yes, USS Nimitz is 1/3 the length of this runway. C130 could land and take-off there with no issues.
