Photo Comment

This Herk was supporting the Al Fursan Display team visiting Payerne. Since 1975, the UAE Air Force has operated 10 different Hercules aircraft. Among them were two C-130H taken over from the Abu Dhabi AF and four new C130H's like 1213 shown here. Three L-100-30 came 2nd hand from Air Gabon, Schreiner Airways and the Dubai AF. The last aircraft - a C-130H-30 - was also merged into the fleet from the Dubai AF.
