Scans - USA 2000 - 2005

Post by Kokpit »

Not sure if this is the right place after the software upgrade, but thought I'd share some scans of various avaition pictures from my time in the US.

I hate scanners, and they hate me, it's a mtual arrangement, but if there is a demand I will continue to persevere:

Sussex County Airport, Georgetown, DE.

The 'Buy-Back' programme, where LM Aero bought back a C-130K for every C-130J we had bought. This was their final destination, under RAF hands, and then handed over to LM. The back line was almost full, both of ours and RAAF. Quite a sad thing to be involved in when you've worked, flown and slept in them for 6 years.

Wow, I didn't think they were that bad, 200 views and not a single comment. :sad:

Oh well, I guess I'll turn the scanner off then.

Very interesting and unusual collection. Particulary like the RAF C130s. Any more?

Interesting to see the Herks on return to LM and Diamond Lil in that guise is history!

Thanks, Tom
