They got a static of one of those on Charleston and they loaded an old wing commanders car as part of the cargo.

Who cares about F-35, that C-124C on the other hand. Really great shot!

I drive past it every day, really is a sight to behold. I used to enjoy their b-47 too but it was too far gone and they scrapped it.

My grandpa was an ATC at Hill AFB for years. I got to go to work with him once and check out the C130s. Its one of the fondest memories of my childhood and with him. Would love to know if anyone still there knew him!

I grew up in the valley below Hill AFB. I do miss the days of training missions and non stop jet engines running up and around the canyons.

Hill has to be one of the better spotting bases that you can get some decent shots from the road running parallel to the runway.

Thanks for the picture!

If you are interested, the aircraft in front is a C-124C Globemaster II.

And F-4 and a C-124 meet head on at a taxiway, both in each others way.

The cargo pilot calls to the Phantom and says, "You guys need to turn around and find a different route, or else."

Not one to be pushed around, the F-4 pilot says, "Or else what?"

Flipping the lever to open the cargo doors the C-124 replies, "Or else I'm going to eat you!"
