A few random shots from last weekend ...cheers Chris.

Had a few Texans ride into town .....





and some fellas from Oz who have been helping out up North ...nice little aircraft







One of the last skiers going home for the summer.... those Air Guard guys keep their aircraft super clean.

Great shots. The Texans look good, the C-27s look really good, but....the LC-130Hs...what can I say
The C-27s.... are they named Trojans or Spartans.. as far as I'm aware Spartan is the name..but those Skibirds

Thanks for looking....C-27 is a Spartan.

I always thought these would be a great stopgap between the C-130's and C-17's we could have had.
Think of them as an Andover replacement....but that's another conversation.
