From Jungle's link:
"21 unarrested full-stop landings, and 21 unassisted takeoffs at gross weights of 85,000 pounds up to 121,000 pounds. At 85,000 pounds, the KC-130F came to a complete stop within 267 feet, about twice the aircraft's wing span"
There on the side of the fuselage, a big sign had been painted on that said, "LOOK MA, NO HOOK."
That's pretty amazing.
