Unfortunately, you can't do that with a C-295 - which gives an indication of its usefulness....Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

It's three pictures of a Toyota Hilux driving into a Merlin/EH101 - no mods, no bits taken off, driven up the ramp, strapped down and then driven off.
A C-295 could do that with a quad bike...

yes both c130 and kc390 have a higher MTOW but the range is quite similar unlike the price per unitStrategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
