  • Guardian Angel?

    Pretty awesome what swirling wind can do. Looks just like an Angel. Think of all the death and destruction the plane that the decoys are protecting will do. Spare the innocent!!

  • Hercules

    This thing is neither AC-130 nor KC-130, I'm affraid it is most probably just a regular transport version of Hercules with additional fuel tanks under its wings. Couldn't be an AC because there are no guns sticking out the left side and couldn't be an KC, because the fuel tanks are located between two propellers, causing turbulences behind the plane (thanks to which we can see "the Angel"), refueling planes would be heavily affected by those turbulences. Could be also MC, but I there are no visible modifications of the aircrafts hull.

    • Ask those how were there

      This clip was produced by the Canadian Forces Combat Camera team, It took place over the PrimeRose Evaluation Range in Northen Alberta near Cold Lake Airforce Base in 2000, if you heard about Maple Flag Exercise this is the place.

      It was an international trials led by Canada with the following nations involved. The US of A with their C-117 Globemaster, the Germans with their Transal, and the following nations as observers: The Italians, British, Brasil, the Netherland and finally Canada.

      The plane we see here is a CF-130 Hercules, it is to be noted that this particular Hercs is the oldest in the world, over 45,000 hrs of operation.

      I was supporting those trials as a Skyguard operator, Skyguard is a radar system built by Oerlikon Contraves. The radar system was providing telemetry information to guide the cameras system that were used to monitor the flares behavior with different type of A/C.

      The clip was produced right at the begining of the trials.

      Gents, it was quite a light show to see.

  • Support our Boys, Over There

    Visit www.operation a Bit of Home.com, and click on the big red heart. We will send a valentine to a soldier in your name with your Valentines message. We are fundraising to send more boxes to the Freedom Rest R&R Facility in Iraq. Valentines are $1.00, but you can give more!

    You can no longer send any mail to "ANY SOLDIER" it is destroyed as a security risk., We have a military distributuion point in Iraq where your Valentines will reach thousands of troops.

    Background

    In March, 2004, while my wife was in Iraq, I started Operation: A Bit of Home. My wife called me and told me she had to put on 80 lbs. of battle gear, pick up her rifle, and walk 2 miles in 140 degree heat to buy soap and tampons and toothpaste. She told me that the government does not supply any sanitary or entertainment items to our troops. I decided that I would not have my wife doing that. I started shipping boxes to her unit in Iraq, in large quantities.

    In July 2004 I received a phone call from a place in Baghdad called Freedom Rest. They stated they were the only R&R facility in Iraq for our troops. They get soldiers that have been in combat, on convoys, or high stress dangerous situations and give them 3 days and nights of R&R, good food, a pool, games, a soft bed and goodies. They process hundreds of soldiers in-and-out each day. By supplying hygiene, snack and entertainment items to Freedom Rest, we have directly affected the lives of over 23,000 soldiers. (Verified in a letter from the NCOIC, USMI Freedom Rest)

    They told me the government provides basic foods, linens etc., but all hygiene, snack and entertainment items come from donations, and asked if I could help. I am one of the few groups that actually have been asked to send supplies.

    I know there are a lot of charities for the troops out there, but these facts set us apart from the rest:

    1. We supply a facility for stressed troops, not individuals. We have eliminated the problem of NCO and officers hording the boxes. We do not send things to the same troops over and over,

    2. Our website tells people how to send their own boxes, how to fill out the US Postal forms, gives packing tips and lists of needed items, and most importantly, we give out the address to send it to. We do not post names of individual soldiers, a very dangerous thing to do. If Al Qaeda knows where a National Guard unit is from, and has names, they could potentially find and endanger soldier’s families just by using a phone book!

    3. Although the website does accept donations from folks who want us to do all the work, we encourage people to do it themselves, give them the tools, and hope to encourage a sense of civic pride. We do civic presentations and assist groups in completing their “Public Service” obligations.

    4. We don’t sell a bunch of overpriced “Boxes” or jerky like others do.

    We are working with several organizations to help them develop their own programs.

    I could go on forever, but if yo

  • It's a conspiracy!

    The actual photos were over sand, not water. Didn't anybody google this? Also, I put my two cents in here and say that its a KC-130.

  • dsai;

    its just a c-130. one of several different makes. the plane is made by lockheed and is probibly the most numerous type of plan in the world. and it doesnt really matter what make it is bc every military plane has countermeasures. these ones are called flares and decoy heat seeking missles.

  • Beautiful!!!

    That was absolutely beautiful, but towards the end the smoke starts to look like demonic angels, and the only other thing is that I find it a bit Ironic, that a bomber like that, displays angel like firework shows, its a bit cliche

  • the plane

    i am pretty sure it is a C-130 hercules and those flares are for when a heat seeking missile is near trust me on this i have flown in the C-130 and it isn't a tanker either for those who believe that it is for paratroupers, military supplies and humanitarian supplies
