Hercules over Sydney today?

[pluto]

Anyone know why there are 2 C130s flying in formation over Sydney this morning?

That's a VERY loose formation :)

Fair enough, formation was probably the wrong word ;)

I thought they were retired?

Why do people keep thinking the C130 Hercules is retired:question:
They retired an older model,but there are still plenty of C130's in the Airforce.

Ah, just read up on it, didn't realise it was just the old C130H. Good to hear, they're such handsome aircraft :D
