Indian Air Force C-17, Israeli Air Force 707-300, Saudi Air Force C-130 KDOV Pics

Greetings, I went to Dover to shoot the Indian Air Force C-17. I missed this 2 months back as it took off at 4:30AM 1 hour before I got to the KDOV ARGH! This time it was there but parked in a bad place due to the fact that the IAF and the RSAF aircraft had occupied the other spots. The heat haze was horrendous even at sunrise and made getting a decent shot impossible. The Israeli Air Force departed 10 minutes before sunrise. I had this frame 2 other times KADW from 2004 and 2008 or so from KDOV. The IAF #264 is not really new for me but glad to get it in the most recent Asphalt Grey Livery. It looked to be heavily used and abused and no better way for a 707 to look! Even the unpainted engine cowlings add some character to IAF's #264. Glad to add 2 new RSAF C130 regs to my database but I STILL can't for the life of me get the longer model. A few hours later a mixture of USAF, USMC and USN aircraft were doing practice approaches. Of course the best part was hearing #264 take off in front of me screaming down the runway. I will never get used to hearing classic engines 707s. I tried to get some video but it would not focus so I ended up with really neither for departure.
