When do we get the pic of Tonks doing the route? :)

Love how the Co-pilots in the Tornado and Herk are waving at the camera. Always nice to see them paying attention to making sure the pilot doesn't run them into the hills... :lol:

is the Herc got some sort of radar on, as the dark patch is a bit like the model 707s that you can find on HJG, like surveillance :dunno: or something,

The dark patch is the dark olive green that they seem to be repainting the entire C-130 fleet in at the moment. With them being so busy on deployment they often seem to end up looking like patchwork quilts of green and grey.

There's a good one here of a Herc with a single green engine:
