Patrick is the home of the 920th Rescue Wing, and their airplane of choice for large ops is the c130. So really they should be there, nice find however that they were out on the runways the day the sat snapped the pic.

I spent most of my military career on the back of one of these things, Totally awesome.

Luckily once i gained my pilots licence i was lucky enough to take 1st officers seat on route to Bosnia in 1994 as a kind genuine 1st officer let me take his seat for a few hours whilst he played cards with the rest of my platoon.

Definitely the flying workhorse of any modern military machine.

The sound of one flying past still gives me goosebumps

Kudos on the flight saint! I too am a pilot, however, I am afraid the biggest iron I will ever be able to fly is L-39 my uncle purchased and I just got type- cat checked out in. It is an awesome ride...nothing like the big dog of aviation though!
