I've seen one of those in person, not with a tank, with other gear that broke off the pallet and created a FOD hazard.

I wasn't in MAC, so I didn't know the LAPSE acronym.

And yep. Just watching that will leave me puckered for the evening.

Didn't they ball up a C-130 doing one of those?

At least one, I am sure.

Actually, I spelled it wrong - LAPES

I cannot imagine the COG shift, when twenty-some TONS pops off the extreme rear or the ramp - but I bet the pilot pees himself.

“mother...”

C130 LAPES bad day.

Prayers for all involved.
