The Navy would call you an AMH (Avaition Mech. Hydraulics). C-130 and P-3's use the same T-56 Allison engine. You cargo guys just mount yours on the wing, upside down.

Isn't the earth 75% covered by water? Maybe we should fill all of our tires with H2O.

Nascar has been using nitrogen for years because it doesn't expand and contract as much due to heat.
