Lockheed C-130 Hercules

Wonderful to see this aircraft in the Mach Loop and the crew relaxing on the tail gate as the aircraft navigates the valleys at speed.

Ha, great capture!
I think I'd rather be facing forwards, but what an incredible experience it must've been for them at the back!

[Alli W]

What an incredible shot well done!

[Wylie]

Not an RAF hercules. I wonder what an American forces one is doing at Valley.

@onewing Hi Babs, the RAF still use the Loop" but it's also being used by: USA, Italy and France plus other European countries. They also use the lakes.

I like the photos you took of the plane.

I'm not quite sure I've got this right - is that horizontal projection under the tail a gate - and does it have people sitting there?

[Cliff McFarlane]

@robz Hi Rob, it's the tailgate down and people are sitting on it.

Amazing capture

We have these flying low over our house, so I see them regularly. Good capture!
