RCAF Herc 424 Squadron

Recently got to run an exercise with our countries Search + Rescue division.
I volunteer on the civilian side so I sat this one out and did some pics for the crew.
Pretty fun time shooting, everything was shot on the 400/2.8 (cough cough handheld cough cough).
nothing like having a fully loaded herc buzz you at 400ft for an hour.

Anyways, here's a few selects from the day, enjoy

This thing is huge.
Hercules is the right name.

Good set, & nice coverage of the drop!

Great series! Used to fly them doing the same thing - lots of great memories flying the Herk.

Nice set
You realized the drop needed faster shutter speed

Lovely set, meanwhile in Australia we have 12 C130H's sitting on the flight line retired before their time!

such a delicate balance too, breaking sun, white clouds, blue sky.
thank god for AV, TV & IS

Nice shots!!
It's always a pleasure to see the Herc's! Once in Gatineau I saw one circling over the river for 25min. No idea what it was doimg.

I ike #5. The partially deployed chute makes the shot for me.
