When do we get the pic of Tonks doing the route?
Love how the Co-pilots in the Tornado and Herk are waving at the camera. Always nice to see them paying attention to making sure the pilot doesn't run them into the hills...

is the Herc got some sort of radar on, as the dark patch is a bit like the model 707s that you can find on HJG, like surveillance

or something,

The dark patch is the dark olive green that they seem to be repainting the entire C-130 fleet in at the moment. With them being so busy on deployment they often seem to end up looking like patchwork quilts of green and grey.
There's a good one here of a Herc with a single green engine:
