That is a nice picture. Is there any follow up or do we just say it is a nice picture? because it is a nice picture.

I remember working on the Corps of Engineer's airdrop requirements for this aricraft when I was in the service back in the early 1980s.
Great aircraft. Terrific replacement for the beloved HerkyBird (C-130).

Caution, wake turbulence!
To: EnjoyingLife
All aircraft that are producing lift, i.e. flying, have wingtip vortices. These vortices, kinda like horizontal tornadoes, rotate counter to each other when view from the rear. They tend to sink and move away from the centerline of the aircraft. They are most pronounced when the airplane is heavy, slow and in the landing configuration.
Needless to say, wingtip vortices and the turbulence and loss of control that they may cause a following, particularly smaller, aircraft are a major hazard to be avoided during takeoff and landing.
In this photograph these sinking, trailing wingtip vortices have sunk behind the aircraft flying just above a stable stratiform layer of clouds which are disturbed by the vortices hence rendering them visible.

And that's why these things can't fly in nicely-organized formations. They produce staggering amounts of wake turbulence.
I have to wonder: if the turbulence is so bad, doesn't it mean this thing is working awful hard to push itself through the air (i.e. it's not an efficient design)?

The top portion of the photo looks like a neck and part of a chin. With the whispy sides, it reminds me of an angel watching over a proud military. Very moving.
