New MC-130J?

Noted amongst the based 67 SOS Hercs yesterday was 12-5761. Can anyone advise when this arrived and if it is now based.

I fear that the heat haze must have deceived you, twinstar.

For a Kadena-based MC-130J to arrive in the UK and go unreported/un-photographed on any of the various UK spotting sites is stretching the realms of possibility.

I would think that you saw 11-5731 - which flew yesterday as STRIX27.
Cheers, Bob
