    Went out to DUB Monday morning, very quiet there so put the camera in the boot and was about to leave when I heard an unfamiliar rumble....
    Was a bit of a rush to get the camera back out to catch this, so not the best pic (although the vortices look pretty damn cool!) Im not that into mil aircraft tbh, but it was nice to see something different.

    I like the contrail effect corkscrewing from the blades.

    By coincidence, I flew in the jumpseat of a "Rock" C-130J from Kandahar to Bagram last week. RCAF co-pilot.

    Glass cockpit, HUD, automatic weight/balance calculation. All the things I don't get on a C-172.
