A lucky shot which managed to get two 'BUFFs' in the viewfinder, this was B-52H 61-0029 positioning for an impressive take off at the end of the 2009 RIAT.
I am convinced that there is a department at Lockheed whose sole purpose is to add as many lumps and bumps to the Hercules as possible! This HC-130P was operated by the 67th SOS / 352nd SOG, waiting to leave Fairford at the end of the 2009 RIAT.
I liked this perspective of this Globemaster III as she trundled out to the piano keys on the RIAT Departures Day. Good to see a West Coast based example from Travis AFB.
