New MC-130J @ Mildenhall 18.01.2016?

Post by Le Addeur noir »

An SBS group is reporting the arrival of "C-130J" DEVA41 hex code AE5963 here-and this hex code was recorded on planefinder on 18 January in the UK. So far 13-5786 does not appear on a list of USAF C-130s, but pilotman 6012 has recorded this tail number in the States on SBS late last year.

Adding two and two together and maybe coming up with the correct number between three and five, it looks like the latest MC-130J for the 7th SOS has arrived here.

You are quite correct. 13-5786 was parked up at Mildenhall when I visited today.

Also outside was 'new' Osprey 0061 as well as 0063 and 0064.

Well, there you go. At least 3 new numbers to look for here the next time I'm back.

I think there should be at least a 10th MC-130J, if not another 3.

10 Ospreys should be all they're due to receive.
