Saw this beast on approach to Richmond, and I just HAD to go, even with gastroenteritis. It brought a KC-10 and C-17 with it.

Hope you enjoy!

When has it not been??  :-?

The C-130 has always been mainly used as a cargo but has adopted many roles over the years.

I am talking about its size, relative to the C-5. ;)

Thanks for the comments, everyone. :)
