This episode looks at early C-130A operational tasks that cumulatively gave the Australian, government, citizens, and military planners a good sense of just how much more capable air mobility was with C-130s in the inventory. The tasks covered include:
- The very first RAAF C-130 Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief mission which took place in the New Hebrides (Vanuatu) in the aftermath of 1959’s Cyclone Amanda;
- An around-the-world mission called Operation Eastbound; and
- Examples of the early Search and Rescue missions – one successful and one not so successful. This includes the story of Michael Rockefeller's disappearance in November 1961.
Also covered is a summary of what C-130 crews did during crew rest.
