Our Air Force doesn't have anything quite so big but they do have a few C-130s still going strong. I think they've just been through another upgrade. I use AF-C as a matter of course at the moment because my camera can't lock onto infinity when wider than about 28mm. I have it set not to fire unless it's in focus so I kept getting frustrated. > Next time, grab a camera :-)> If I'd grabbed the camera and an appropriate lens I'd have missed seeing the plane. That may sound selfish, but a photo of blank sky wouldn't be very interesting to you guys.
