In 1965, someone at Chaklala saw a C130 and said yep, that will have to do...
So they loaded up around 22000 lbs of bombs on wooden crates and cradles.
Added static line fuses.
they flew low towards target area, pitched up, opened the ramp and let the pallets fall...

That is VIP transport.

Look like we are operating so many varied types of small fleets

That is VIP transport.

Why operating so man different types ? Why not any attempt to produce a double propelled version of mushak - for VIP and small cargo transport role. It’s not a rocket science.

I have to ask, is this a serious question? I can't tell if it is sarcasm.
