Ah, well I just so happened to check the airplane retirement home west
of there, but didn't spot any C-130s. I will look harder next time. I
haven't uploaded the few photos I shot of that air****t. There is a guy
that has a blog regarding that air****t that I can also check out.
One of the few times I didn't post something cool happened to be at
that air****t. It would have messed up national security (potentially).
But of course, I can't say what I photographed. ;-) Thus far, it
hasn't shown up on the net.
