Low & Slow

[lew]

As the proverbial crow flies I'm about 50 miles north west of CFB Trenton where they fly C-130 planes among others. I must be on one of their flight paths as the come over my house several times a week and sometimes unbelievably low. Just 2 weeks ago a pair of them came over so low I felt I could almost touch them. Over the years I've got some great pictures of them.

I was working in the yard this morning and could hear one circling close by but couldn't see him for the trees but got my camera just in case. Sure enough he turned my way and came directly over head and again was very low. 

Tough to find them in a small view finder but I got a decent picture anyways.

Don't know about anyone else but I love seeing this sorta stuff.

 

Here's a couple more from other years

We were seeing them in the treetops in pairs when camping at bonechere provincial park. 

I knew we were close to Pembrooke and Petawawa. What I did not know was that there is a landing strip just outside the park border on the other side of the road. 
No wonder they were so low LOL but mighty cool nonetheless

had one fly over me while fishing smallies on Gbay, i almost feel like the pilot purposely adjusted his flight path to buzz us as we were a loan boat out in a vast expanse of water and he buzzed us.

Have had them do the wing tip thing to us many a time fishing Quinte. Pretty impressive airplane.

Fishing the notty one morning and I could hear this  chopper .  It got louder and louder. Flew right over us just above the tree line. That was very cool.
