First day of summer in NUE

I've been holed up at home for two days, because the weather wasn't exactly conducive to long walks. And besides, I has been binging on Gomorrah. But the weather couldn't stop me from going to NUE, because there was another chance to catch a Royal Canadian Airforce Lockheed Martin CC-130J Super Hercules, while getting fresh air and stretching my legs in the process. I was really lucky to capture it the first time. And I was lucky again: the aircraft taxied and took off in a very short window without rain.

This time, I wielded my Nikon Z fc paired with a Nikkor DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR lens. I have to say, this combo grows on me. It might be not the ideal tool for aircraft photography, but it does have a few redeeming qualities. But that's a topic for another day.
