Unfortunately the special marks Typhoon of the RSAF went tech, so the 'normal coloured' one did Saturdays display, seen taxying here for departure.

Despite the tinderbox that is Greece, flares were used, to my delight.

One of the closest passes I have ever witnessed, new underwear was required.

No doubt the star of the show for the locals, i am lucky enough to see them quiet often at Lakenheath, that said, the Lockheed test pilot, F

Nice selection of shots there.

Regards the C-130, the whole fleet has been in disarray for some years now and they were meant to go through a modernisation programme with HAI at Tanagra. However it would seem that this hasn’t had the desired effect with only 4/5 a/c coming out of it. 741,747 and 752 have all been noted flying in the past couple of months, 751 although modernised I haven’t seen for over a year probably much longer. The Greeks are currently in negotiations with Alenia/Leonardo for the purchase of up to 8 C-130J’s, which will probably be selected from ex Italian, UK and Australian examples. On a side note, the C-27 fleet isn’t much better either, with only 4 to 5 examples available at any one time.
