[Update: I was mistaken that this plane is a bomber. I have been informed by a couple of sources that this is a Hercules cargo plane. It lives at the nearby Trenton Canadian Forces Base and makes the trip to the Peterborough Air Port on a semi-regular basis for training.]
I was out shooting the winter landscape when I was distracted by a loud distant rumbling.
I turned around and behind me I could see a plane approaching.
This was not the plane I expected to see.
It definitely was anachronistic to see this old bomber flying above a modern vehicle in this cold Canadian landscape.
Can you tell me what kind of plane this is?
Here’s what I was shooting in the other direction. Not as unusual, but very nice to look at – at least if you know you’ve got a warm car waiting for you on the side of the road.
I imagine it must have been mighty cold up in that plane…
Lockheed Hercules. Military transport, search/rescue or a fire-fighter.
I thought you would know. Thanks. You rock!
