Quite a sight for this recently retired RNZAF C-130; landing on a grass strip.

Footage of the incident. Usual trigger warnings, as well as to avoid the “I reckon” analysis.

Did incredibly well to get it down flat in the circumstances.

Yes there were a couple of points during the final moments where I was convinced it was about to stall and spiral in.

Quite a sight for this recently retired RNZAF C-130; landing on a grass strip.

Note that this is the first C-130H off the line. After being on display for a few weeks it will go into storage alongside the P-3K2 Orion until the Museum expansion gets funded.
There was an unofficial livestream, it was a great day to be WFH!

Slightly old news, but Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum took delivery of Lynx AH7 XZ222 from Lyneham last Autumn and it will feature as part of a new Cold War building at the museum.

They are now fundraising to help the new building take shape and support future acquisitions.

Nice. As someone who lives very near Biggin, I have just become accustomed to seeing and hearing Spits and other Warbirds flying around the Kent Countryside. They have a really nice collection there and are very active during the Summer especially.
