MC130 over Glasgow area 14/08/21

Post by tubeoligist » Mon Aug 16, 2021 2:16 pm

Hi,
An mc130 went overhead Glasgow area on Thursday afternoon at 15.40.
It was showing on fr24 as 13-5787, but when I check the serial it should be 14-5787, can anyone confirm the correct serial.
Thanks
Alan

14-5787 is correct and it is an AC-130J.

Yes, it was 14-5787 as Nighthawke says but it was on Saturday 14/08 and not Thursday, it was discussed in this thread :- viewtopic.php?f=378&t=208799

Thanks for the replies, think I need my eyes tested, it was indeed Saturday that it went over, I’ve written down the 14th and for some reason worked out that was Thursday. I need a drink. 🤣🤣
