Great C-130 demo video - In & Out

Ah someone got permission to re-post it. Cool.

The link I shared on Vimeo a few weeks ago, disappeared pretty quick.
 
This flight actually reminded me of this Globemaster (C-17) crash; their flight profile was quite similar. Actual crash at the end is edited out of this released video:

Did I see an actual barrel roll in there?

No - There's a couple of spots that kinda look like it, but the first one (about a minute and a half in) is a pushover, they're not inverted despite how it looks like they are. The second, just a bit later, is a bit harder to read but note that they don't come over the top, when they switch to the front cam they're banking to the right for the reversal.

Difference being that you can tell this crew was working well together, and you hear the copilot say "Continue" several times at key points - I'm assuming that if there had been any issues with speed, altitude, etc that "continue" would have been replaced by "knock it off" and corrective actions. The PF is also verbalizing quite well, saying what he's going to do before he does it - Looks like a really professional job by the C-130 crew... Not so much by the C-17 crew, though I've yet to hear cockpit audio from that one. :(

I love the way they finish within seconds of their target time...

I think any routine is a series of 'dots'--aircraft in specified configuration, at a specific place, at a specific time. Just connect the dots. Miss any dot and just shorten it up to make the next dot as planned. Very professional demo.
 
His "continue" calls seem to be in response to programmed system warnings. I liked that too.

PF is outside, PNF is making sure the continuous Master Cautions and Master Warnings aren't unexpected since the aircraft is whining that it's outside of its normal operations envelope.

Good planning, good execution other than the constant reminders to the PF that he's getting blown downwind. ;)
