Friday 17 December marked the official end of C-130H operations by the Belgian Air Force after (almost) 50 years of service. They are now being replaced by the A400M. It was planned to perform a formation flight across Belgium together with some Hercs from partner nations, but unfortunately the weather decided otherwise. Due to persistent fog, only a small press flight was organised which ended with the traditional water salute. This is the end of an era for us and we will surely miss this iconic aircraft!
And the new kid on the block:

Such a shame that the old girl couldn't have a proper send off. Thanks for sharing.
