Climbing away from Runway 34R for an extremely short 8 minute flight to NAS Fallon (KNFL).
Comments
Having had to divert to RNO the previous evening, this Clipper was simply repositioning to its original destination.
Nice capture, Gary! Of the five Nevada National Guard C-130 in the background, the middle one has a red making on the tail just below the unit identification stripe. Do you know what that marking is for? I've seen some other units use similar markings as well like some C-130 based out of CLT when I spotted there in 2014.
Another great shot Gary ......
Another superb catch Gary! Congratulations on this capture and filling in all 5!
Does this bird belong to US Navy ?
Nice. 737-700 with 800 wing. CFM56 motors.
The 130 is probably involved with the Forest Service MAFFS program. Modular Airborne Fire Fighting Systems are portable fire retardant delivery systems that can be inserted into military C130 without major structural modifications to convert them into air tankers when needed and can drop 3000 gallons. Been around since the 1970s. The planes are marked with an orange temporary paint for higher visibility.
On July 1, 2012, MAFFS 7, operated by the North Carolina Air National Guard flew into a micro-burst Edgemont, South Dakota, and resulted in four fatalities. https://wildfiretoday.com/2012/11/14/air-force-report-says-micorburst-caused-crash-of-maffs-air-tanker/
