So a C130 is rated to carry one LAV-25...

Height Limitation

Your only taking the APC, Mortar carrier, or Ambulance versions.

And IIRC even THEY have to be reduced by letting air out of the tires. Nice planning when they purchased the POS.

And, IIRC, all vehicles going by aircraft are required to have their tanks mostly drained of fuel to reduce fire risks.

That depends on the mission set up IIRC. Tactical, going into a hot strip and rolling into the line, they allow fueld and armed, though the ammo does not go hot until on the ground, which is the easiest to do. NON-tactical, minimal fuel, and ammo usually seperate. At least that was how it was thirty years ago... of course they run scared shitless these days, so they probably sent them into action with nothing by their grins.
