This thread is for anything related to RIMPAC 2012. I am hoping there were some spotters in Oahu in july.

I was wondering if those are refueling pods on the wings of this Canadian C-130? If so can it fly fast enough to refuel the CF-18s? Sorry for the poor picture quality.

I'm far from sure but I think those are just extra fuel tanks. We had those on the Swedish C-130s that was sent to Africa and those who took part in the Sarajevo airlift.

Those are hose and drogue pods and yes the KC-130 can fly fast enough to refuel F-18's. USMC does it all the time.
