5 Hercs?

Gosh - how very impressive. NOT! 30+ years ago the RAF could put 36 up at the same time; I flew on the jump seat of no. 33 in 1971. There was once a reasonable sized transport force with Hercs, Andovers, Bassets, Devons, Pembrokes, Belfasts, Brittanias, '10s - even a whole squadron of VIP Comets!

And now it's just possible to get 5 Hercs airborne at the same time?

Just who is that supposed to impress?
