Was coming home today from just up the coast when I saw an Indonesian C-130 flying at about 250ft above the waves just off the beach, it was heading north towards Sydney and can only conclude that they had finished an excercise down in Jervis Bay area and were heading back to RAAF Richmond.
You can’t miss the Bright Yellow tails on the TNI-AU herks, they are a regular visitor to Australia but this is the first time I have seen one down this way and down so low. I know that the TNI-AL Comandos are training with our SAS and this is the only reason I can think that this particular Herk was doing this.
Wish I had my camera with me!
