HEAVY HAULER

The unmistakable shape of Lockheed’s famous C130 Hercules starts its approach into the Cad pass. Unlike the fast air the Hercules will not attempt to bank much more than you see in the picture. For many years the venerable Hercules has been the go-to aircraft for all British medium lift cargo jobs but sadly it is now in the twilight of it’s service as the Airbus A400 takes the role over. It will be sadly missed in the skies over the UK when it’s time runs out.
