C-130 Hercules Flying Very LOW! Royal Gorge Bridge

[MotorsbyShooter]

They are not on any approach. They use the mountains and valleys in Colorado as a training platform...low level flight in a dangerous situation.

two of these just did a low pass over my house not even 10 minutes ago!

Peterson AFB which is about 40 miles from where you were has a bunch of C-130s. And bordering with the Royal Gorge is a Military Operations Area extending almost to the AFB itself. So it's quite natural that they'd do that.

If you were in Colorado, then those are from Peterson. Academy doesn't have anything other than trainers for jump platforms and glider pulls, Buckley doesn't have C-130's. That's the only aircraft at Peterson.

nice, were you on vacation??? nice video :)

[Airforceproud95]

I was! I was going to an Air Force football game, and we decided to stop here.

They are in that area probably operating inside of the local MOA they have there. (Military Operations Area). It may not be a very active MOA that they use which may be why you never see them much.
