oh, I'd take it, but I don't know if I'd like it.
Guarded EC130's at DM for a year. Very loud.
Even worse during morning warm up.

Short take off, and short landing are very impressive.
Don't know if I would want to have that ride.

A great shot of another one of the marvelous Lockheed Skunkworks' masterpiece.

Actually I don't know that Skunk Works had anything to do with the Herc. At least not the standard models.
Skunk Works is responsible for mostly black aircraft. (U-2, SR-71, F-117, etc.) Lockheed? yes. Skunk Works? I don't think so.

They were also responsible for the for the first prototype F-22 N22YX; if you look closely you'll see the skunkworks emblem on the verticals. I noticed it on many 1:48 scale models, so it might just be made up. I don't know for sure, but if you can find a very clear picture of YF-22 serial no. N22YX before it was put on display, you should find the emblem on the vertical next to the serial number.
Best regards from Nelms.

Right, but regardless, I don't think the 130 had any skunk blood in it.
