Never seen a C-130 with polished spinners. Unique and looks good.

I was shocked to see what model of Hercules it was.

Yup, the pun was intended.

Okay, well, that just resulted in a short circuit. I now have the choice of trying to figure it out or continue enjoying my end-of-day beer. I'm stickin' with the beer.

Great stuff, Nick! :supz:

I used to see Hunters, Venoms, and Vampires (and many other interesting vintage jets) at US air shows, but not any more. We get a fair number of L-29s and L-39s and the occasional T-33, MiG 15, and F-86 (all of which are cool, mind you) but not much else. I suppose that reflects the high cost of fuel and maintenance.

Lovely, lovely shots Nick... I especially like the one with the three hunters coming in to land..... looks like something right out of the 1950's!

Cheers,
Richard

Every time I post a shot of the C-130 it catches someone :lol:

The models are really impressive, how may of you for instance would know that this isnt real (apart from the fact its not covered in fluid stains)
