Edit by mod: there is no such thing as 'found on the Internet'. Displaying them like originally done here is simply unauthorised use. The links without proper credit still are, but we cannot go much further from our side to correct things.

Must be, engine runs are normally made before the first flight.

No such thing as a "short" C-130.

There are "normal" C-130's (so-called "stubbies") and "stretched" C-130's (-20 or -30)

I know, semantics, but I could not resist.
