C-130 Gets New Brakes

With a six-fold increase in brake life and better stopping distances, this sounds like a no-brainer.  On top of that, it appears that he system has already been tested on the J-Model, so it should be relatively low risk technically.  That said, somebody's still got to go out there and slam on the brakes at max GW and max abort speed.  Have fun!
