@@NTs_Toons_TV My view count is irrelevant to me, I do this because i enjoy it.

@@ApexAviation9782 please give me your WhatsApp number

@flightpatternwithJaxYT Yeah I wanted to go Inside but it wasn't till I was at the door when I realized I had lost my wallet so sadly I never got the chance, nonetheless a great day to have been able to see it's final flight that wasn't to the boneyard

@arthouston7361 this C-130H was the final airframe in the USCG Fleet. It made one final flight to London before heading to be scrapped

@@ApexAviation9782 I guess I'm having a hard time understanding why it would be scrapped, when it could be converted to be a firefighting tanker? And why would it be scrapped in England?

@arthouston7361 it's a plane made to spec for the Coast Gaurd so converting it to fight fires would cost alot. And this is the H variant, older, less fuel efficient, and just not as advanced as the new C-130J variant, that's used by all types of military in the US and abroad. The US has C130Js made for Firefighting. And the motive to retire this airframe was because the Coast Gaurd now has newer and more fuel efficient aircraft

@@arthouston7361 and it's London, Ontario. Not London UK. That's my mistake I should have had that info up

@@ApexAviation9782 I have many flight hours on the 1712, although not as much as some of the other 17XX's. Been retired since 2015, so kinda outta of it, but some of the other 17XX's I know went to Africa or sold off to civilian cargo companies. And not sure why they would scrap it instead of sending it to the boneyard to be used for parts as many other countries and civilian companies in the US are still using H models. The configuration for our H model that is different is the large square observer windows behind the flight deck for crew members to use for searches ( don't think the J's have this) modified for it to hold the camera turret on the nose, the wiring panel on the right side to hook up the CASPER pallet to use the turret and the flare launch tubes on the door of the ramp. With the turret removed and the CASPER and SAR (it contains inflatable rafts, dewatering pumps, other stuff) pallets off loaded, or airframe is just a cargo plane. We go through loading a large foam (I'm actually not sure what was in the tank anymore) dispersing tank that can be used to fight oil spills in the ocean, which is fairly similar to what would be used for firefighting planes. Also, looking at www.canada.ca/en/air-force/services/aircraft/search-rescue.html assuming it is up to date, Canada still flies H models. edit: Another thing that is weird is that it has the camera turret on the nose and it's being flown to Canada to be..scrapped? Scrap is still worth $$$. You actually have real info that it is to be scrapped? Maybe Canada bought it to scrap and use for parts on their H models.....but the turret is still on it, no way is that getting scrapped.

@@ViperAviation. yep all from the same day, this was taking while preflighting lol

yep, prepping for ice season coming up

@bobsurgranny Thanks Bob! It's always a great demo, Big Fan!

@NOSUBSCRIBERSWANTED Hey! So this was filmed on Samsungs S24 Ultra. Yes like you mentioned it does have issues with noise and focusing at darker environments, and the zooming at night isn't too great either. But in proper lighting conditions it's very good. No compression by TH-cam as far as I can find, just happened that the F-18 went up pretty late so thr camera wasn't at it best, Thanks for watching, great Question 👍

@AviationStation85 this was Friday, during the opening twilight show

Yeah London went ham on the ground statics this year, air display came a little short. Thursday was a great day to get both air and ground display arrivals

It was a great show! Thanks for watching!

Thank You!

@@ViperAviation. August 12th, Thanks!
