Farewell to the RAF C-130 Hercules EGDM to EGDL

This is a virtual airline achievement created by FireFly Air.

In commemoration of the retirement of the C-130 from active duty with the RAF, a formation of three C-130 aircraft will depart from Brize Norton. They will head towards Wales and then proceed across the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland. From there, they will continue their journey to Scotland, tracing the east coast and over flying at various bases along the way. Finally, they will conclude the route with a full stop landing back at Brize Norton. This itinerary will serve as a tribute to the C-130's service as we mark the end of an era.
