RAFA BoB Airshow 07: Light AC/Herc

Postby Mictheslik » Sun Sep 16, 2007 4:59 am

It's more of a random thread really....

I missed Denny dobson (oh dear  ;))

Got there just in time to see Guy Westgate in his swift, and Ultimatehigh also did an aerobatic display in their Extra

The herc was there dropping the falcons display team....very impressive to see it operating from such a tiny strip...

Doing aerobatics in a glider takes a very special kind of courage..... you wouldn't get me doing it!

All are impressive shots!  Even more impressive I think is the one of the departing C-130.  Nice job as always.

What you did miss was a delightful aerial ballet by Carolyn Grace in ML407


Well....I saw her takeoff from the railway, and watched her display from the station as I waited for a bus ;)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Eh, didn't notice that. On first glance it looks J because of the stretched fuselage.

i do not think it's the J model becauseit only has 4 props and they are flat not curved. So i think its a E model.


I love these shots mate they are wicked!



Just to really confuse you, I think you'll find it's a K model Herc (basically an E), which is significantly older than the J model - one of the things Lockheed Martin didn't consider when selling the C130J to it's launch customer (the RAF!)! :)

it is indeed a K model :)

I prefer them to the Js.....they look more like proper Hercs :D

Also I got a bit bored with the J when I went to Lyneham, and the only hercs about were Js.....gets a bit tiring after a while ;)
