C-130 Hercules on their Farewell Tour with the RAF 🇬🇧 ✈️

Watch three of the last C130 Hercules depart, flyover and land at RAF Brize Norton for a Farewell Tour of the UK ahead of the official retirement of the type from the Royal Air Force. The Hercules conducted a flypast over the base before diverting to RAF Fairford due to a heat embargo, prompting the closure of the runway at Brize Norton. The Lockheed C-130 Hercules has been in service with the Royal Air Force for 56 years, having arrived at Marshall's in Cambridge, in 1966. The newest type with the RAF, the C-130J, which is less than 30 years old, will still continue flying for the Air Mobility Force until at least the 30th June. See the playlist of C-130 Hercules during their retirement period, including several events to mark the end of the type's service with the RAF:    • Playlist   Recorded: June 14th, 2023 --------------------------------------------------- CobraEmergency | North America:    / cobraemergencynorthamerica   Outroduction Music: Watch it Glow - Silent Partner    • Watch it Glow – Silent Partner (No Copyrig...   --------------------------------------------------- Ⓒ CobraEmergency
