More than 150 aircraft from more than twenty nations were on display at this year's Royal International Air Tattoo, held at RAF Fairford, UK, in mid July. The Hercules was well represented at the three-day show, as an MC-130P Combat Shadow crew demonstrates the aircraft's refueling capabilities with an MH-53 Pave Low special operations helicopter during the flying display. This LC-130H from the 109th Airlift Wing won the prize for best-kept military aircraft. It was the second time the 109th AW had earned the award. The Ski-Herc is shown at Lajes Field, the Azores, after a refueling stop as the crew was returning home to Stratton ANGB, New York.
