Remarks: This Coast Guard C-130 is based at CGAS Clearwater at PIE, and spent a little over a week undergoing flight tests along with a CASA HC-144A Ocean Sentry.
Remarks: I could have done without the Mazda 6s, but this side of the ramp is poorly lit and I wanted to get the shot with the lights still on. The blurred lights behind it are from a fuel truck.
Remarks: This aircraft is based at Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento in California. While most of the USCG Ice Patrol C-130s that come through OQU just quickly clear customs and turn back out, this one is full of passengers and will be staying overnight.
