Envious, oh yes!

Yeah, they normally wear the crappy headsets, and fortunately only a need in certain places to look out for AAA/SAMs, the Falklands not being one of them.

The C-130Js were a bit of a laughing stock when they first arrived (and the C-17s too) as they weren't cleared to do anything - no rough strips, no Khe Sanh approaches, no low level - all they were cleared from was basic transporting trips. Now they can.

Jamie - you've got them the wrong way round, ZJ950 has the Maltese Cross and she's been down south since 2009, ZJ944 was on the same trail.

To double-check, ZJ950 doesn't have the PIRATE pod to the fore-left of the cockpit. The numbers are clear on the originals but in reducing the size it would appear not to be anymore.
