This certainly is a different kind of post for SkyWatch Friday. I am wondering what kind of aircraft you were in when you took the photo of the ol' Herc.

well to give so more details, It is a Improved Container Delivery Airdrop using Joint Precision Airdrop System. These container can contain any number of things, food, medicine, bullets, toilet paper. This is a new system for getting the supplies to their destination from a higher altitude which is safer for them while still maintaining the accuracy from dropping from a lower altitude. this Picture was taken from the back of a C-130 Hercules while over Eglin Airforce Base Florida. i am glad that all of you enjoyed the view. that was was my office for 20 years and it was the best job I have had to date.
