A nautical mile is based on the circumference of the earth and is one degree of latitude or 6076 feet vs 5280 ft for a statue mile. To get miles per hour, time knots figure by 1.151 to get the conversion factor. Knots/nautical mile data is used in ships and aircraft for planning purposes. I flew for 45 before retiring recently, to include the C-130 so I am used to airborne troops jumping out of aircraft. One time at Bragg the drop was cancelled due to high winds and we went low level instead for training and by the time we got back most of the jumpers in the back had puked all over themselves and the seats in the back due to bumpy ride and some had never landed in a plane before as they were used to taking off and jumping out. C-130 had a great HVAC system to keep them cool in the back which was great in Nam. Except for the T-38, the C-130 was my favorite aircraft.
