Brilliant Stuart - thanks for posting

Particularly like the HC-130s from the 67th ARRS at Woodbridge and the 'roman nose' ANG C-130

Thanks for sharing these, very nostalgic. I'm sure some if not all of these attended IATs at both Fairford and Greenham Common over the past few decades.

Great selection of shots - love the Canadian as well as the Rescue Herc with the yellow band around the fuselage. Sad none of these great colour schemes are around anymore, apart from the LC-130s.

I think it was 1982 when they did the aircrew pick up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please!

Snoopy the Hercules with the long nose cone XV208 was an amazing Aircraft to see, I only saw it at IAT 1993 but still thought it was amazing.

Excellent set. All top notch esp the Cannuck bird (such a smart colour scheme). That Kiwi one was taken @ the Silver Jubilee Review held @ Finningley.
