Night C-130H in Krakow + some locals(update)

Post by Bartek »

Hi guys,
Last week I visited my home base in Krakow (8th Transport Air Base) to catch C-130H from 182nd AW (current AV-DET in Powidz) during night drops with Polish 6th Airborne Brigade. Paratroopers flew also with PLAF M-28 so ith was nice and interesting day at EPKK. Here are some results:

Another set up to your normal superb standard; lovely framing, excellent exposure and metering.
Love the C130 head-on.
