Greetings,
I finally went down to DOV to get some shots of the Saudi Air force C-130s. it was actually a unplanned trip as my main destination was KWRI. The RSAF C-130s have been on my list to get for several years. I was holding off as I wanted to get the stretched version but I wasted way too much time waiting for something and might have ended up with neither. I was lucky to get 2 as I did not know there was one already on the ground. Shortly after I arrived under a tornado watch and torrential down pours, thunder and lightning and eventually 50kts winds the crew showed up and started loading up the plane. The Cockpit Tarp they throw over the front of the plane really ruined many of the shots before they removed it. As usual the weather was horrendous and I just missed some fantastic light 1 minute just after the 1624 arrived. I do have shots of the C-130sin the airline livery but glad to finally get the air force colors as well. An added bonus was finally getting a good shot of the recently Re-engined C-5.
