Earlier this month we started an epic journey around the world with C-130’s from the European division of GAF. With visits to famous places such as the Falklands, South Pole Station, Honolulu but also Edwards AFB which is located in the high desert of California. Let me take you on a photo tour of an epic journey… around the world 🌍

I want to thank @DadaBull for organising this epic trip! Without you this would’ve never taken place buddy. I’d also like to thank some other participating pilots such as @Benjwri, @sjyearwood @Jeno_Farkas and Charlie Hindle.
I hope you like this report as much as I had fun writing it!
