Mildenhall 24/9 (MC-130)
Thanks to a post in the excellent Mildenhall and Lakenheath movements Google group I went down to Mildenhall this morning.
Two additional MC-130J have appeared in the herc line up
14-5793 and 09-5711
Don't know if they were previously based here but I needed them.
From the road I could read off
05714
45793*
25759
5711* off the nose
25760
15731

You were an early bird, Mike!!
Neither have been based here before and both are currently with 9SOS/27SOW at Cannon AFB, NM.

Re: Mildenhall 24/9 (MC-130)
Both MC-130J have departed at about 14:30L
Re: Mildenhall 24/9 (MC-130)
Further to this info.5711 is actually a 13 fiscal.The Tail had 35711 on it.
Re: Mildenhall 24/9 (MC-130)
There is no 13-5711 I'm afraid. Photos of this departing show the tail number reading 95711 (on the right hand side at least)
Cheers

OK my mistake-I read off the left hand side and there may have been some interference on the paint job.No harm done.
