Lockheed EC-130J Hercules (17-0000)

Very cool!

Tom, it was a very cool day overall. Got some decent shots. We only had some sun break at the end of the day at the end of the F-18 demo.

- @John Giambone. I sure hope you ducked. Your photos on FA are always the best. We'd hate to lose you.!

@Steven Smith thank you for your kind words!

Great photo!

I love low pass photos, especially when not configured for landing. You remembered to duck, right?

Herky Bird! Former crew member, H models though. I would just say it's not an 'EC-130J', the 'E' is for electronic warfare, and as far as I know it's just what we used to call a "slick". Still a capable airplane, since the mid 50s. We also used to call it the "fabulous four-engined fighter" LOL. I pulled a lot of Gs with an A/C that was the squadron commander and our chief navigator that flew together in Vietnam, through the Smoky Mountains! I will always love that airplane!

That's a killer shot!!

I can smell the kerosene from here !!!

John Giambone - this is a great shot! Nice to see you've still got the eye for beautiful aircraft.

Love it!!!

👍👍

That's two thumbs up in emojis language!!

During the airshow offseason circa 2008, Fat Albert performed practice maneuvers at the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada (KTNX). Depending upon the time of day, we were able to simply allow total use of the airfield and watch with a certain degree of amazement the "show" put on by the US Marine flight crew of Fat Albert.

Nice, love it
