Oh come on people - I think it's the C-130Z. You can clearly see it's got props on the back of the wings!! Obviously set to further improve short field take-off and landings. Now we can be ferried directly between Kandahar and Bastion, and still land at all the little FOBs in Afghan.

I dunno... push-pull engine/prop setups worked well for the Dornier flying boats.
How would the turbine exhaust affect the prop blades?
C-130 "superSTOL"?

Got any better quality photos? (including the tail No - (I'm not a spotter)) From what I see it doesn't really add up. Could be a couple of images combined on top of each other, a bit of time lapse photography of the same ac. Also, the radome doesn't look like the right colour for an RAF C130J, but the fairings on the fuselage sides do.

I tried
,lol Maybe I should have placed the picture in the caption competition thread?
The shot was planned,altough it came out better than expected,as for quality,well it was crappy weather!
Here's some more,2xC130J's,one a C4 the other a C5.
I was just trying to make a boring taxy shot a little more interesting,thanks for the comments.
Now my Typhoon shots later in the day.............well they were certainly not boring,lol.

Oh god please don't post them. We have had enough Typhoon photographs recently thank you.
Why should they not be posted? This is a military aviation forum and I am reasonably certain the Typhoon is a military aircraft. You may have have had enough of Typhoon photos others may not. If you don't want to see them you don't have to!

Excellent pics of the mighty J. Bring on the Typhoons

C130 Techie - It actually says military aircrew, the forum name is professional pilots rumour network. I don't see why pictures should be included, unless the aircrew of the aircraft are being spoken of in general. How about looking at uk airshow review or fighter control index for pictures.
If the above is going to ignored then comply with this - Get some Merlin pictures! See if I can spot myself

Actually it says this.......
"Military Aircrew, A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here."
Sorry to quote what is actually says again, but some of us are proud of what we produce for the guys who fly them. Some of us can't be the fortunate ones who do fly the hardware, but we are nonetheless part of the "TEAM". Personally Albert means a lot to me, and if I see people taking notice then great!!!
RAFEmployee, if you don't consider that you are part of that Team, then.........

Look at me I have wings and wear a flying suit - I am the master race, I am a god .... get real and get off your pedestal, I’d like to see how far you get without the rest of the team ...... I bet you're one of those twats who never says thanks to the groundcrew who’ve worked 12 hours straight so you can go flying.
PS - Love the pics

So military aircrew/professional pilots have got nothing to do with military aviation then?
My point was not that we should have loads of pictures of aircraft on here, although I see nothing wrong in that, it was aimed at AIDU who has once again removed a post that he clearly didn't think about before he posted it.

They generally do start out as light hearted. Then someone starts getting all pompous, abusive etc. Live and let live. As Mactlsm1 quite rightly points out we all have a part to play and most of us are proud of that contribution.

Like you I'm a little puzzled by the radome colour.

Shed loads of props on a Lossie picture, must be the mighty Shacks returning from their last QRA sortie.
or back from giving the Icelanders hell during the Cod and Chips war.
