A Long Way to Salute!

The Royal Jordanian Air Force brought a C-130 Hercules to RIAT in 2025. The aircraft had some special markings on it but the thing that caught my attention when reviewing the images was the crew member on the top of the fuselage. It is not uncommon to have someone open the top hatch to watch proceedings as the crew taxies in. In this case, he was saluting as they turned off the runway and continued to do so for almost all of the time they were taxiing in. He did wave to the crowd a couple of time but, otherwise, he saluted all the way past us. A good effort on his part.
