On this day: 71 years ago, pilots Stanley Beltz and Roy Wimmer, with flight engineers Jack Real and Dick Stanton, made the first flight of the YC-130 Hercules from the Lockheed plant in Burbank, CA (August 23, 1954). The mighty Herky Bird, the legend of legends, was born!
In this week's newsletter: An augmented reality fighter jet helmet is being installed in the F-16. 👇 themerge.co/p/red-6-rising
