Some shots of a flight I did over Chile (santiago) in the fantastic C-130 "La vaca fabulosa" sorry that the pictures are not too clear It seems the Chilean Air Force does'nt pay too much attention to cleaning fuselage windows!

please enjoy and comment if you like

Just asked the conscript at the gates of the air base jejejeje.

Every 19th of September Chile has a military parade and I have a friend in the Air Force so he kinda got me and my cousin to sit in on the flight.... I spent more time recording the flight on video than taking photos flying in formation at low level over the city was awesome and made a great video!!! I think that flight was 2005. lets see if next year I get to fly in the f-16

Obviously Chile has more loose restrictions when it comes to the security of their nation. :P

They can't afford maintenance to clean the windows because they spent all their money on gold rimmed sunglasses.
