Welcome to Episode #92 of the Lessons from the Cockpit show! I’m your host Mark Hasara, retired KC-135 pilot and Weapons Officer.

I met Colonel Barrett “Scooter” Golden recently at the 2024 Airlift Tanker Association convention in Dallas. Scooter is a long time C-130 pilot and also a graduate of the C-130 Weapons School. During an off station trainer Scooter and his crew were told by the Special Tactics Team on the ground his aircraft did not come off the Red Devil Assault Strip intact. An iPhone photo texted to him from his wingman confirmed his situation not covered in the Pilot Manual Emergency Procedures.

This episode is financially supported by Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. These four, six, and eight foot long profile prints of famous aircraft peel off the vinyl and can be stuck on any flat surface. There are 152 Ready-to-Print profiles of famous aircraft from P-51 Mustangs and Me-109s to fifth generation fighters like the F-22 and F-35. Wall Pilot can also draw your favorite aircraft with your name on it, your favorite unit and weapons load on any profile print. Go to https://www.walllpilot.com to order several of these highly detailed aircraft prints.

Colonel Golden has flown several versions of the C-130 to include the C-130J which his crew experienced a gear failure in. This is the C-130J Hercules of the 19th Airlift Wing Commander at Little Rock AFB.
