Title: C-130 MERCY MISSION.
Description: Lockheed C-130 Hercules Military transport plane of the United States Air Force.
Tower control issues an instruction to the pilot to "Line up and wait" on the runway. The plane is about to depart from its base on a mercy mission to take emergency medical supplies to a ship in distress far out in the ocean. A massive storm front approaches and rain lashes the airstrip as the sun sets, causing a golden glow. The tower clears the plane for take off. The pilot opens the throttles and the propellers whip up a water spray as it lurches forward.
