ETAR 15-1-2016

Post by Wolbie »

Seems like the two longtime resident 19th OG C130J's have both left Ramstein this morning, just heard the first one passing Nieuwegein at 07.30lt.
PP shows 11-5752 as RCH984, followed by 11-5738 as RCH808.

Last Sunday I heard local spotter MT say they'd spent somewhere between 350 and 375 days at Ramstein....

Are the 'The Rock' C130's replaced by 'Dyess' C130's?

The initial 2 J models from The Rock at Ramstein were 11-5748 and 11-5752 , which arrived from St Johns via Prestwick on the second weekend of 2015-IIRC around the 11th.11-5748 was replaced by 11-5738 at some point in September.

Longer and longer deployments is probably going to become commomplace as the military seek to save money. At one point 4 months was the norm, but no more.
