Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

California ANG C-130J around Palmdale

Post by Gietje »

Flying around Palmdale, CA.
Does anyone know the serial of the aircraft?
I know 01-1461 carries a patch like that (next to the big 4), but I can't find recent pictures of this a/c to confirm this is actually 01-1461.

Can't you zoom in on the cockpit section to find the serial?

Thanks! So I was right after all.
I took the picture on the 20th of July 2010, so that must be it.

That was hard, since it was quite blurry. Took the photo while sitting in an RV on the highway going 100 km/h.

The '4' on the fuselage denotes the fire-fighting number , since some of the States in the U.S shy away from the older 'C130' fire-fighters , States like CA have asked the USAF to help out battle the annual fire-fighting season.
