Those RAF C130's will show up all over the place. This is at Paso
Robles, California in 2013. They had been taking part in combined
exercises at Fort Hunter-Liggett, and flew in to the 2013 "Warbirds
Over Paso" to take in, and be a static part of the show.


Cool.

We were lucky back then that both Abbostford and NAS Whidbey Island
seemed to have good connections with the RAF. Lots of Nimrods,
Vulcans & Victors. And a beautiful RN Lynx off the HMS Birmingham (if
I could find the slides.)
