Artist's Description
THIS C-130 HERCULES, IS BUT ONE OF MANY THAT FLY IN AND OUT OF TRAVIS AFB IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. TRAVIS WAS A MAJOR HUB DURING THE VIET NAM CONFLICT. IT WAS A FIRST STOP BASE FOR A LOT OF SERVICE MEN THAT CAME HOME WOUNDED. TRAVIS AFB IS THE HOME OF DAVID GRANT MEDICAL CENTER, WHERE LOTS OF PERSONELL SPENT TIME UNDERGOING SURGERY AND RECOVERING FROM WOUNDS. I SPENT TIME THERE AS WELL FOR THREE KNEE SURGERIES WHILE I WAS A DEPENDANT. MY FATHER WAS IN THE AIR FORCE AND STATIONED AT TRAVIS.

cool flight action you see these much any more either
THANKS KAT, I SEE THEM PRETTY OFTEN FLYING OUT OF TRAVIS. THEY DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY C-130’S STATIONED THERE ANYMORE, BUT THEY USE TRAVIS A LOT FOR SERVICE ON THE OLD BIRDS. WITH THE FILTRATION I USED ON THIS SHOT, IT’S POSSIBLE TO SEE THE EXHAUST TRAILS. YOU COULDN’T SEE THEM IN THE STANDARD PHOTO.
