Notes:

A C-130A belonging to Cherry Aviation Services Inc. returns to Tamiami after conducting an in air recovery of a UAV. They had been here for a period of two weeks conducting those tests with the UAV somewhere over the florida everglades for what purpose no one truly knows. The set up looked quite interesting once the rear doors opened the retriever would sit in what appeared to be a pilots chair and make the recovery in flight. The UAV appeared to look like a similar model created by the Isreali's.
