So... would that affect the C of G much then?

Jordanian AF C-130 with the monument at Petra on the tail? - anyone suggest a better punt??

[Buster Hyman]

The enemy would be Petra-fied to see that coming....

Hmmmm....

Can you see that big crack?

[enginesuck]

You think thats impressive you just wait and see what the nimrod fin looks like to commemorate 40 years of the a/c in service - a real show stopper , no expense spared !

Hmmm, sucking engines, I'm guessing someone got a tin of Tesco value whitewash and splashed a big 40 on it?

Please tell me I'm wrong

[Dengue_Dude]

Perhaps they've replaced the control columns . . . ?

[sumps]

Will that mod' need a structural survey? (i'll get my coat)

[airborne_artist]

Looks to me like it was done by a chiseler

I know the Hercs have been around for a while but surely not 100 BC which is when Al Khazneh was built.
Where’s Indiana Jones then?

[L J R]

He is flying it, and Chuck Norris is the Co-Pilot

[ShyTorque]

Pontius was that pilot.

[kluge]

...but he washed his hands over the whole thing.

Spot on Smiter.

But its a very stylish "40", sort of.

[Rigger1]

Can we put Stonehenge on one of our Hercs, it's nearly as old!

I remember a Bev, in Aden, a friend was due re-pat, but they kept him back to spray the aircraft.... Flew around for a while with........
Royal Air Farce Muddle East.... Sprayed down the side.

Better take that pic away, Marshall's might get a 'good' idea about materials for future repairs.
