Saw this photo on twitter from the Trenton air show RCAF 90th of Herc 307. What's with the unusual large radome?

This one was the Search and rescue hercule. So probably extra searching device.

There does not appear to be anything unusual about that radome.

RCAF SAR C-130s do not have "extra search devices", unless you count eyeballs...

Upon further research it would appear ......that..........you........are .....right.

Old guy brain fart. Should never post before morning coffee.

Good ol' 307. Currently my hangar queen nightmare.

Too funny, I think 328 has 90+ 349's open, we feel your pain

Ouch. 323 was like that, but she finally went off to die. And 308 was made airworthy after three years parked, and flew off to Cascade recently, so it was nice to empty the flightline a little bit!
