Nice Nick!
Glad you had the weather we had down south first thing
The Gunships look good although somewhat sand blasted! Need a good clean down by the looks of it!
Good one and mind the cars

Re: Gunships and Joint Rivets during and after Storm Carolin
Nice shots of the ACs, didn't realise the US still operated any C130s with the older model engines any more!
