Herculean Task to Get The Qatar C-130J at CBG

Post by Tink8597 » Wed Jun 14, 2017 9:41 pm

Tried to second guess the Stinger F.16's,thought I'd spend some time at the Hall Monday afternoon just on the off chance of a diversion,however a heads up that they were expecting a Qatar C-130J in Cambridge, brought about a quick change of plan.
Arrived at the Hall just in time. I Know it's not a Hercules but Wait!

Nice afternoon, however the trip home had a nasty twist when on entering into Norwich I was informed of the F-16 diversion,sic but things panned out in the end.
Many thanks for looking Peter & Kevin.
