RAAF C130H Tail Art "End of an Era"

As the RAAF C130H fleet is about to be retired from service A97-005 has had her tail paint in a retirement theme & she was rolled out of the hanger this morning. Hopefully I'll get to take some flying shots of her prior to the end.

Unsure Pete, I'd like to think that she'll do a lap but anything could happen in the name of SRP, gotta support the budget surplus at all cost!!

Blow the budget I want an airshow god dam it

That's a fantastic bit of artwork there. They blew the budget on that one eh?
