discussion Egyptian air force C130 - panel lines

[rickoshea52]

I took this photo yesterday of an Egyptian air force C130 at Addis Ababa airport. The aspect that caught my eye was the clearly visible panel lines on the engine nacelles and lower fuselage. Not all Hercules aircraft will sport this type of weathering - the camouflage and operating environment will have an influence - but it clearly shows how oil stains can affect the appearance of aircraft.


I would have taken a photo of a white C-130 parked next to it to illustrate a different take on weathering but the airport plod were getting agitated and were carrying AK-47's!


I hope you find this interesting.
