Farnborough Airshow - transports, 18/07/18

Probably the best flying display of the show was that of the LM-100J Super Hercules (civilian version of the C-130J):

Embraer's KC-390 is aimed at the military market (for now), but the test aircraft do carry a civil registrations:

Thanks Andy. No I hadn't been drinking and so didn't fall over during the LM-100J display! Totally awesome to see it being thrown around though - wish I could have been on board.
