C-130 Hercules by farmreporter

C-130 Hercules

I was originally out to take a high key shot of the sheep for the get pushed challenge when I was way laid by dragon flies on a tree branch.
I heard the old familiar low rumble of a large plane as I was trying to get up close and personal to the dragon flies, looked up, and there he was right over our farm!
This is a Canadian military plane probably based out of Trenton, Ontario.
And he was low to boot!
I had my own personal air show as he criss-crossed near us and even did a slow turn with the wings perpendicular to the ground.
Sorry, Joan @joansmor - this shot beat out the high key animal one!
I love this. I grew up next to a small town airport and have always loved planes.

Grew up in Marietta and heard these and the C5As all the time.

Good ole C-130! Fabulous cargo plane. The US military used to fly them as well. Now they mostly use the C-17, which I see flying over us almost every day.
