No, i don't think so. I wish there was though. I'm surprized that payware companies don't include it in their aircraft packages though.

Cool

You could always just add some After burner effects in the proper places.
It wouldn't function as the real deal, but sure would look impressive. Wink

Actually, Captain Sim's C-130 has JATO, but it is just effects.

Saw the story on this on a show called destroyed in seconds.
Im pretty sure it was made to do that so it can get hostages from like Iraq or something so they can land at a smaller airport and takeoff at a smaller airport.

It was a top secret mission but when they did testing it didnt work out and it crashed on the landing like the whole airplane wings and everything.
Noone was hurt thankfully but the mission failed because they dint have enough time to make it again and they were released anyways.

Thought id share some history Wink
It would be cool to see that on FSX, I love the C-130

Saw that show too.  It was actually designed with landing and taking of in an area the size of a soccer stadium.

You'd have thought they would have rigged the rocket control system so they could not have been fired out of sequence.    Shocked

You beat me to it. Great idea, to bad the  crew & prototype were lost.

They weren't out of sequence, they were triggered by the pilot too early. The fired perfectly, just too soon.

Cool

I was pretty sure the crew survived, althought the aircraft was totaled.  The system was working great, but the crew was not supposed to fire the rockets until on the ground.  In the video you can see they were still 10 to 20 feet in the air when they fired the rockets, which made the plane fall out of the sky.
