hey what a GREAT clip Danf! :ymapplause:

seeing all those Lockheed a/c in one go makes me realise just how outstanding Lockheed are; there are plenty of a/c manufacturers that have produced some of the World's most iconic machines, but i can't think of any that have done what Lockheed have - churning out one fantastic design after another!

loved the Herc dropping the pallet - it was either the World's briefest touch 'n' go, or a BLOODY low flyby! =))

No touch on pallet drop gear down just for safety couldn't have a Herc doing a belly landing by accident now could they ,In service never witnessed a Herc touch during live pallet delivery to remote detachment ,Often no runway only flat open ground big enough for the run in low pass and kick up to unload same routine as higher only no chute to pull load out .Have every respect for those loadmasters some of them stood on the ramp and could easily have joined us accidentally.
