    C-130H Hercs workhorse of the RNZAF. Been on a few in my time, got my wings and been deployed overseas hitching a ride on em too... 50 years old? Shit I actually thought they were older!!! Lol 🤣but props to the professionalism of the ground crew that kept these work horses in the air, and on the job serving new Zealand and the world... Onwards ♦️

    Yes, C130J's are on order and due in a couple of years time. Later this year the first Boeing P8A Poseidon should arrive to start phasing out the Orion P3K2's as well.

    2:44 That's what I said to the mechanic when i went to get my WOF last week. His reply, send it to the wreckers bro, it's over 15 years old. funny how things work in reverse down here. Tell them to get the gorse out of their pockets and get a Globemaster. cheapskates.
