USNavy ''herc'' Maastrich 06/05/05

[Triple Nickel]

Prelude to the "Bush-visit" there are some transport aircraft from the US-forces that visit maastricht airport.

Today a USN C-130T was announced to arrive at 1800 hrs. I went to MST after work and -hopefully- have some nice weather and see the herc.

And what a damn good luck I had!!! Although the herc came in at 19.10hrs the sun was still very strong and was shining!!

Here are 4 pics:


The C-130T came overhead first and made a short turn before landing.


Touchdown at RWY22.


Backtracking the runway




Very nice day today!! One for the books!

Greetz,

A happy spotter.
