Wow even the thread titles in code... let alone a suspicious looking image plane.

Thanks for the comment, My Friend, apologies for the pilot talk.....loosely translated this means Big old slow cargo airplane with some badass guns sticking out the side getting ready to land at Jackson International Airport, MS! Hope that clarified the code talk. Sorry about that!

Beautiful in an ungainly way. Nicely shot.

That is a "mean" aircraft! Thanks for posting! A very rare sight outside US.

Ask anyone who knows..... you do NOT want to be on the receiving end of that big, ungainly looking gray thing. Not only is it bristling with 20mm (?) mini-guns firing 4,000 RPM, it has 40mm Bofors and an awesome 105mm howitzer! It will KEEL!
