Issue is that a C130 floatplane will need...Basically new EVERYTHING to be safely used. Engines, ectronics, gear, frame, even training to handle the downright hellish change of handling characteristics.Like this WOULD NOT be an easy modification. Generally planes that can get floats addedare either specially made for that or are small enough to fit in the C130 cargo bay. Heck as is the biggest Floatplane Im aware of is the DC3 which was a third of the size and was hard enough to do that they only made 2 of.At best a C130 float plane be a C130 in name only at double the price.It will be cheaper to either build a specialized Seaplane version ala Tradewind or buy off the self like the new Turboprop Albatross.
