Touch and go-activity at EBOS again! C-130 Hercules keeps flying over my workspot every couple of minutes!

Wiloo is gonna have a fieldday, I've just seen them perform the tightest turn I've ever seen by a C-130! 8O They are in "cowboymode"

Pictures when i get home!

yeah, this morning I heard a strange noise, thought it was a hercules, but I haven't seen him.

How long did they perform touch and goes?

Nice pictures by the way.

ooh...I'm really not curious, but where do you work?
Seems like a nice working place

Regards Maxim

I saw this Hercules too! I was in Brugge at the time, but it must have been flying somewhere over Jabbeke (or close by).

I'm working along the canal Brugge - Oostende, near the Hospital St-Jan.

I get a clear view on the approaching heavies towards EBOS and the occasional T&G action.

They didn't practice that long, about 1,5 h I believe...

Anyone has the liberty to improve my somewhat smelly shots!

I'm very interested in those filters, where can i find those?

(I have photoshop elements 2)

edit: nevermind, i found them. I'm defenitly going to try these, your result is impressive!

I saw a C-130 at work in the morning but also one in the afternoon.
Maybe there were 2. The one in the afternoon left around
16.30 back to Brussels. He was flying very low above Leke.

Hello,

The C-130 also came twice (morning and afternoon) to Koksijde for some touch and go's. Around 16h40 he did his last touch and go at Koksijde and went afterwards to Ostend for a single touch and go and then flew back to Brussels.

Here's a picture of me and the C-130

taken while doing touch and go's in the afternoon.

More pictures of it and two small movies can be found at http://www.sgkoksijde.be in the movements section.
