The very nice and rarely seen Herk in France and even in Europe is arriving to participate to the International Conference on Airborne Research for the Environment (ICARE) meet held in Toulouse.

139th AS, 109th AW, NY ANG. Based at Schenectady County Airport, NY. KM 64 slide.

Parked very close together, so this ex NSF Electra is hiding behind the wing of a former NASA Electra. Both aircraft were stored at Neptune Aviation Services' airtanker base and both were sold to Air Spray later in the year. This N308D became C-FLXT.

The NSF Herc is pictured parked up in front of the small PAE terminal.

This extensively-modified Electra had the tail-fin from a P-3 Orion fitted.

Departing for St. John's, Newfoundland at the end of a period of duty at Shannon on research work. Small titles on forward fuselage.

I was just thinking it was time to finish my session on approach when I saw a smoky trial in the distance. Initially I thought it was an An-12, but this Herc returning from an Antarctic mission was the pleasing outcome. Scanned from KM25 slide
