NZ has just retired its long-serving C-130 Hercules - if we were heading south in December after the C-17s had finished for the year we'd often take a C-130. Apart from the liberal application of duct tape I always like the trip even if it was a little cosy and had even worse windows than the C17s - it was just nice having Kiwi aircrew looking after us. #Antarctica #C130

people approaching a C-130 Hercules - it is a rainy day. The aircraft has 03 painted on its nose. The people have black and orange jackets and green bags. They are entering a small hatch in the aircraft side.
The inside of a military aircraft hold - it is tight packed with people. There are green bags and the people are wearing face masks.

    Bonus Photo of the Day 7th December 2024.
XV292, Lockheed C-130K Hercules C.3P, Royal Air Force, taking off for a flying display at Fairford International Air Tattoo, some time in the early1990s.
Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a silver belly, blue "Lufthansa" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and a blue tail with a yellow circle containing a stylised flying blue bird in the middle. The left hand propellor is blurred because of it's rotation speed, while the right engine is stationary. Grey concrete apron fills the rest of the frame, with a small piece of grass on the right of the frame.
Front view from below of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from the bottom to the top of the frame at a low altitude, with flaps extended from behind the wings, the underdcarriage is being retracted, and the nose raised significantly, suggesting it has just taken off. There are dark blue "Transat" titles on the on the forward fuselage, and the tail and rear fuselage are a similar blue. The damp air is causing momentary clouds to appear in the front of the engines. Cloudy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane in an olive green and grey camouflage scheme flying from left to right with the undercarriage being retracted, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. There is a large blue and red roundel on the rear fuselage, and the small serial "XV292" in white just aft, with the large number "292" on the nose. There is a large, blue and red, number "25" on the tail, with a heavy white drop-shadow, with smaller, white "Hercules" above and "Years in RAF Service" below. Bright but hazy sky with just the merest hint of blue on the left fills the rest of the frame.

Manchester Monday 18th November 2024.

    C-GCIT, Airbus A310-324, Air Club International, taxiing to the terminal at Manchester Airport, some time between October 1994 and February 1997.

 

 

 

    G-BGDC, Boeing 737-236Adv, in basic British Airways colours but no titles, being towed to a hangar for maintenance at Manchester Airport, some time in early 1995.

 

 

    130307, Lockheed CC-130E Hercules, Canadian Armed Forces, taking off from Runway 24 at Manchester Airport, 14th March 1993.

 

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with a blue tail taxiing from left to right and slightly away from the camera. There are blue and green "Air Club" titiles on the upper forward fuselage, with the "Air" in blue block lettering, the "Club" in green, curly writing. There is a white, curly letter "C" on the tail, and the registration "C-GCIT" on the lower rear fuselage in black. Bright sunlight reflects off the white body, and the concrete apron surrounding it. Large, yellow, metal frames fill most of the background, with black buildings beyond that.
Rear side view of a grey , twin engined jet airliner with a dark blue belly being towed from left to right and away from the camera by a grey and dark blue, low-slung tug attached to the nosewheel. The plane has a dark blue top half, the rest being grey. The left engine under the wing is the same dark blue, while the right engine is missing. The registration "G-BGDC" is on the lower rear fuselage in grey just forward of the rear door. Grey concrete apron fills most of the foreground, with a large grey hangar in the background.
Somewhat grainy and backlit side view of a grey and green, high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane flying from left to right at a very low altitude, just a few metres above a runway, with flaps deployed from behind the wings, undercarriage lowered, and nose raised significantly, suggesting it has just taken off. Vapour trails spin off from the tips of the propellors, seeming to form corkscrews over the top of the wings. Green grass and grey taxiways fill the foreground, with trees in the background, under hazy grey skies.

Side view of a very grey, high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military transport plane parked facing to the left. The top surfaces are a fairly dark grey, most of the body and the sides of the engine pods and external, wing-mounted fuel tanks are a mid grey, and the belly and undersides of the engines and fuel tank are a light grey. The number "999" is on the nose below the cockpit in a darker grey, as well as the number "4999" under letters "NY" on the tail, Stars-And-bars on the rear fuselage, and "marines" titles under the wings. A young person in dark blue pants, blue shirt, and dark blue pullover with patches on the shoulder is walking to the left, looking away from the plane. Grey sky fills most of the rest of the frame.
Side view of a red, high-winged, single-engined light aircraft with a lime green stripe running along the body and on the rear of the tail. A white picket fence stretches across the foreground, with grey skies filling most of the rest of the frame.
Closeup of the left upturned wingtip, engine, and centre fuselage of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. There are diagonal blue stripes on the forward part of the fuselage, darker to the left and getting lighter towards the right. There are dark blue "Egypt" titles on the fuselage, and dark blue titles in an Arabic script on the engine pods. There are chocks on the wheels, to prevent the plane from moving.
