Greetings.
I managed to come full circle today with my TUAF KC-135. It haunted me for a few years after missing it in 2010/2011. A few years back I had a chance to photograph one at KWRI but my camera locked up as the plane flew past me and I was screwed. All I got was tail and trees by the time I was able to take a shot. Well today I got my second chance. While I was there shooting the KC-135 the Turkish C-130 departed- very nice sound as it was doing a run-up on the runway for about 2 minutes. By the time I left there was some activity around the Turkish KC-135 and the Cargo door was open and the engine covers were off. I suspect it was going out tonight at some point. I already have some shots of the TUAF C-130 from KWRI so I just got some video of it as it departed. The Kuwaiti Air Force C-17 was also back in but departed earlier in the day.
