Landed runway 30 and I believe, here for some low level sorties.

The mediocre weather created great prop tip vortices on this KLu Hercules in nice commemorative "25 Years C-130 Hercules - 1994-2019" markings.

A Dutch C-130H at homebase Eindhoven. The G-781 was originally built as a EC-130Q for the US Navy. It once flew with VQ-4, after US Navy retirement the Hercules was placed in storage at AMARC as 2G0013 in april 1991. The Dutch government selected the airframe in 2005 and transported it to Marshalls in Cambridge (UK) by June 2006 for conversion to transport aircraft and C-130H-standandard. The C-130H was delivered to the KLu on 15 July 2010 and was baptized Bob van der Stok in November 2010. G-781 received an commemorative tail to celebrate 25 years of Hercules operations in Dutch service.

The Dutch Air Force C-130's have been coming over very frequently the last 2 weeks, as they have new IFR students ready to be trained (or so I've heard). They've shot multiple approaches on each visit and today NAF71 was our guest for 2 Touch & Go's. The weather was pretty good, with an occasional shower, but during the 2 approaches of this C-130 we experienced a nice sunny spell.

In September 2019, C-130H G-781 received an commemorative tail to celebrate 25 years of Hercules operations in Dutch service. In 1994, two factory fresh C-130H-30 Hercules transport aircraft were delivered to 334 Sq. Two more followed in 2010, both being ex. US Navy C-130Q aircraft and brought back to H standard. The reason for visiting the civil airport Rotterdam-theHague was fog at homebase Eindhoven and the aircraft diverted.
