Media ride on the C-130J at the 2009 Paris Air Show.  During takeoff, the pilot used max power…which means when he released the parking brake you got jolted backwards as if you were hit by a car.

We flew around the area for about an hour and the crew opened the rear door at altitude to give us a feel for what its like to drop cargo.

After a trip to the flight deck it was time to land back at Le Bourget.
