Notes: CD-ROM, Catalogue # 4004

This latest CD from Aero Research covers the venerable C-130 Hercules, an aircraft that has been in constant production longer than just about any I can think of. 

 There are 210 huge images, making this one of the largest CD's Aero Research has produced. It fills 370 megabytes of disc space. Each image has all the known information about the aircraft including date and place photographed if it was known. The image quality ranges from fair to excellent. If you can think of a Hercules variant or scheme, it is here. There is also a nice selection of L-100s as well as a few firefighters along with many from foreign air forces. few warbird and museum planes included in the mix. I spotted at least one photograph that I took in the past. If you are considering building a Hercules model, this CD will provide a great deal of inspiration as it covers just about all of them from the AC-130 to the WC-130 and lots in between.  It my sound like hyperbole, but if you are a fan of the this aircraft, then you really must add this CD to your collection.

Thanks to Aero Research for the review CD.
