Great shots, and a first for me seeing them with missile rails under the wings on this side of the pond.

Great photos especially the second. A Herc variant that's high on my 'to shoot' list. No pun intended.

It needs a few more aerials and turrets, there's not enough!

Very nice crystal clear shots. In 2017 at Nellis airshow they had one on static. The rear door was open to the public, i have to say there aint much room in a AC130.
