The RC-135V is 64-14841, the visiting KC-135R is 63-7999.

Big questions on the C-130 are:-
- Where was it?
- What colour was it and did it have a fin band?
- Did you count the C-130s on SOG row?

I'm just back and will put a log up for everything I saw today. There were 4 x C130's (different variants) lined up. There was also a USN C130 parked. No flights in or out when I was there.

Log to follow

164598 [RU] - KC-130T-30 [VR-55] (US Navy)
99-1933 - EC-130J [193 SOS/193 SOW]
87-0024 - MC-130H [7 SOS]
12-5757 - MC-130J [67 SOS]

Can't help with the other MC-130J I'm afraid.

Hope this helps anyway.

Thanks for this info', brilliant, the C130 was parked near the tower, seemed a lot lighter grey than the SOG aircraft, if that helps?
