Photographer's Narrative

 

In this photo, I took an opportunity to seize an unusual moment. An MC-130P Combat Shadow, slowly towed down one of the main roads of Hurlburt Field, was a sight to see. It was so unusual it started to draw a crowd. The MC-130P was retired and towed to the Air Park, a museum displaying AFSOC aircraft through the years.
