Photo Comment

Delivered to the Algerian Air Force in April 1984. Together with C-130J 7T-WJA the aircraft picked up a cargo of small Laser sailing boats (including trailers) and what seemed like RIBs (but with a hard shell). I was told that they were needed for games that were to take place the upcoming Saturday, in which militaries of various countries will compete against each other. Sort of like a military Olympics?
