Plane geekness level 11!!

[Steven Seabass]

So those that know me know that I love aviation and living right next to the largest RAF base in the RAF (RAF Brize Norton) I am in my element. Having a friend in the RAF working on my favorite plane of all time, C130 Hercules, working on them I have been invited many times to go and fulfill my geeky passions and have a goood old nose around one. Work and other reasons have prevented me in the past but yesterday I spent most of the afternoon pretty much doing everything apart from starting her up and taking her for a flight. Here are some pictures and a video I took.

I agree with ZYZZ although hiring a C172 is 30 quid more than the 152 so its 152 for me
