One of International Air Response's ancient C-130As at Coolidge.  This one (N118TG) was used to test the viability of carrying and launching AGM-118 Hellfire missiles as part of the "Killer Herk" tests out at the Yuma Proving Grounds a few years back.  I think this is also the one that Bill installed the air attack plumbing on.

One of the LC-130's from the 109th New York Air Guard. I took this picture many years ago and still get a chuckle think about how out of place this bird is for Phoenix, Arizona.

Chris, if one of these ever comes into PHX again I expect a little heads up from you!  This is awesome, very nice catch!

James, awesome shot, much better than anything I got!  My camera was on the wrong settings and at the wrong focal length (I had my lens locked).

It was great to meet you and Ned (I'm still full from lunch)!!
