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

Nice shots of the ACs, didn't realise the US still operated any C130s with the older model engines any more!

Nice shots, really like the ones from the AC-130's!
