Night Low Level Herc in LFA 9
How nice to see/hear something different about 1900ish last night, but quite surprised to see what looked and sounded like C-130 disappearing tail on at low level. Surprised because:
a. It's a Friday night!
b. Well inside LFA 9 (just south of Ternhill).
However, have one question. Have spent some time in behind Hercs in daylight, but never seen it from the same aspect at night, so is it usual to see not just the tail light but what look like lights from each engine? On the Shack (as on other piston engines) we had the usual exhaust glow on either side of each engine, but I thought turboprops by their very nature were relatively dark.
PS WTF was it doing - or will I have to be shot if you tell me?
