Caption: The KC-130F Hercules now on display at the museum passes the Landing Signal Officer (LSO) platform during operations on board the aircraft carrier Forrestal (CVA 59) in 1963. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the feasibility of operating the airplane as a Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) platform, which never materialized.
