and customization , first flight was is 1989 , it uses 2 pairs of engines Used On The B-52 Bomber seeing its reliability.

Operation Credible Sport

Operation Credible Sport was in 1993-1998 , where the U.S Military needed huge transportation capability , and and extremely short landing and take-off distance, to rescue prisoners from Iraq , Helicopters just could not cut it .

Therefore , It some Lockheed C-130's and C-8's where retrofitted with Powerful Take-off Boosters (Activate2) and landing boosters (Activate1) , giving the aircraft the ability to land or take-off in a football field! or more importantly Prison Fields! But Seeing The Size Of the C-8 compared to the C-130 it cant land in very short areas , but it could be more useful for landing on beaches and short airfields

Specs:
-Boosted Take-Off Speed: 75km/h
-Assisted Landing Distance : ~150 Meters
