In 1931 this airplane was introduced as the larger passenger aircraft of the "Vega" - Amelie Earharts personal plane. Today there is only a single plane of orginally 35 in existence, restored by the Fokker Team in Swiss Air livery.
I personally find it to be an absolute blast design wise and it also marked the era of modern passenger aviation, before the douglas DC3 was introduced, thus shaping what airplanes look like today.

The Lockheed Hudson was an American-built light bomber and coastal reconnaissance aircraft built initially for the Royal Air Force shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War and primarily operated by the RAF thereafter. The Hudson was the first significant aircraft construction contract for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation—the initial RAF order for 200 Hudsons far surpassed any previous order the company had received. The Hudson served throughout the war, mainly with Coastal Command but also in transport and training roles as well as delivering agents into occupied France. They were also used extensively with the Royal Canadian Air Force's anti-submarine squadrons

I liked this perspective as it puts emphasis on the radial engine and kind looks like a photo of a model plane somehow.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments, all very much appreciated :-)
VH-KOY Military S/N: A16-211 - Derived from the Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra 12 passenger transport, the Model 14L/214/414 Hudson first flew in December 1938 and by the time production ended in mid 1943, a total of 2,941 examples had been built, most of which served the Royal Air Force and Commonwealth countries. The Royal Australian Air Force received 247 Hudson’s between January 1940 and May 1942 in several versions.
These two pages are dedicated to Doc Wright, who taught me American literature when I was sixteen. He introduced me to Robert Frost, Richard Brautigan, and to Mark Twain's wonderful, poetic polemic, 'The War Prayer'.

The Lockheed Martin (previously Lockheed) KC-130 is a family of the extended-range tanker version of the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. The KC-130J is the latest variant operated by the United States Marine Corps (USMC), with 48 delivered out of 79 ordered. It replaced older KC-130F, KC-130R, and KC-130T variants for aerial refueling. USMC reserve unit, VMGR-452 operated 12 KC-130T aircraft until May 2021; this was the last USMC reserve unit that operated the legacy KC-130s, completing the Corps' transition to the more advanced Super Hercules.

A Georgia ANG C-130 dumps a stick of five parachutists over Tempe, Arizona. I believe this was part of a disaster preparedness drill this afternoon, but then the jumpers got all fancy with corkscrews and smoke and 'murrican flags and such, so maybe this was something else(?) Either way, Herks dumping jumpers over urban areas = AWESOME!
EDIT: Fairly certain this was a Navy LeapFrogs jump into a spring training game at Tempe Diablo stadium.
