They do have turbine engines, not pistons, but do have propellers. That's
what the original poster was referring to. Movie made it sound like a
piston engine running out of fuel, not a turbine spinning down.

Subject: RE: Driven kicks it up a notch
Just a little correction that I couldn't resist making:
C 130 Transports DO NOT have jet engines. I know this because I am a
Marine
who works with them on a regular basis. Some are however modified and do
have
jets, but only a few. Like the ones that the Blue Angels Have. I knoe this
has
absolutely nothing to do with AutoX But, Anyhow.
