Low flying

To whoever was flying the C130 low level over North Beds this afternoon, thank you, the relatively tight 180 turn at about 500' just north of Thurleigh
was wonderfull to watch.

Well, if it does the same tomorrow I might well see it air-air as I do my training around that part of our green & pleasant land. Really must get a little digital camera to carry with me

Alas, that’s the first one I've seen since Thurleigh closed, Used to see 3 of them following in trail, regularly doing an ILS approach but nowadays the odd tonka and that’s about it

You are fortunate that you didn't meet up with all of those who have gone before to the big hangar in the sky doing what you did without adequate experience.
