C130 flyby

[BFMF]

Last week, I was working outside (I work just acrossed the road from the airport, almost under the traffic pattern) and I noticed a larger aircraft in the distance. I remember thinking to myself that it looked a little large. It was too far to identify but since I was busy I didn't think about it and went inside for a couple minutes. As I was walking out of the building, I heard a noise and looked up. It was an USAF C-130 on final for our little airport!

It didn't land, but it did overfly the runway really low.

Yesterday, I went in and asked my Flight instructor and she told me that one of the guys who works there has a son who is a pilot in the Air Force and likes to 'buzz' the airport every once in a while

Cool! I live pretty close to a Natl. Guard base, and I see C-130s all the time. I finally went out there and watched them land one day, and I must say they sure do have an impressive sound.

And just where are the pictures, Andrew?


Theres a government C-130 that flys around the Lehigh Valley in Pennsie a lot. I dunno what it's doing. It keeps circling around, so I assume it's weather or training or something. It's neat though 'cos the area is so wide-open and you can see him from a distance. Great fun driving down the highway.

Sure sure...

I was on the rooftop of my work building when the B-17 Yankee lady flew over and I managed to throw myself down the ladder run to my truck and grab my camera and snap a nice picture of the tree across the way as the plane dissapears behind the tree........


LOL, it is quite interesting to see them out of their normal contect isn't it?

It's kind of a construction job, so carrying a camera around while working is impractical, and would get in the way. Besides, my boss would probably frown on it
