This is not landing, but departure.

This is not a boneyard. This is Basler, right there at Oshkosh and these Gooney birds are going to a new lease on life.

Thanks to all about the wing TANK, thought it might be a camera or something like that and I understand the logic of keeping the fuel away from the cabin in that situation and I like what Garrett said about the children ... now that was funny

This is the Super Herc C-130J 130607

I had a double stroke of very good fortune while capturing this AAY special paint. First, it arrived from Las Vegas over 20 minutes early so the sunlight was still perfect for photographing it. Had it arrived on time, the sun had gone down just far enough to be behind a bank of clouds over the Sierra Nevada so this Las Vegas Golden Knights special livery would have been landing in shady light. And second, I was positioned for 16R arrivals. Just as this one radioed in on base leg, the tower replied that the runways were being reversed due to a wind shift and arriving traffic would be landing on 34L. I could never have relocated in time. But the pilots of this one replied that they were close to turning final, and the tower advised them that they would be the last flight to be landing on 16R. Moments after this one landed, 34L became the runway in use.

In addition to being a new aircraft the C-130J will bring greater performance to the job. The C-130J can fly up to ten percent farther than a C-130T, and carry more than fifty percent more cargo by weight.
VERy distinctive photo! Beautiful airplane and very special ground cover.

Being a DC-3 enthusiast, this is so sad to see the once queen of the sky's in the conditions they are in. It appears the one in the photo closest to the photographer has had it's wings removed from the fuselage. If these birds are getting turbo prop conversions, it will extend the cowlings and will no longer look like the classic DC-3.

Hi Muchits, I'm confused regarding the winglets. Is the removal due to the lower weight of the aircraft?

The tip tanks are actually the mains. They hold about 50 US gallons each. Early models had no fuel at all in the wings. It was considered a safety feature - keeping the fuel away from the cabin in the event of a crash. Later models have aux tanks in the wing and engine nacelles.

Never a dumb question. Wing tip mounted fuel tanks. Don't recall capacity or how much incremental range they offered, but were the signature feature for the Sky Kings

I hate to sound stupid... but what is the pod on the end of the wing? Very nice plane cool paint and I will keep an eye out for you,if you ever fly over Deer Park Texas that is
