Having a day off and knowing that an Italian C-130 was expected, I decided to go to Volkel.
Too bad I missed the first wave departure, but the luck got me that they used 24L instead of 24R, which allows for way better pics
More bad news: The C-130 was the same one as I had seen a few weeks before
Good news to compensate: Pilot Midas had his final flight on the F-16, which made for some great formation flights, low approaches, touch and go's, low passes and what not
Anyway, enjoy these pics
