MC-130J question......

Post by Unknown74 » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:09 pm

Hi all at Mildenhall, quick question for you, the MC-130J REACH 1030 which this afternoon accompanyed the 3 U-28s from Edinburgh Airport, was it a Mildenhall Based Aircraft or had it arrived from elsewhere?

I was a 522nd SOS aircraft, 13-5770, based out of Cannon AFB

Small correction, SamP, if you don't mind please. :) The aircraft was from 9th SOS.

The 522nd SOS inactivated on 9 December 2014 and all its aircraft were transferred to the 9th SOS (which moved without personnel or equipment from Hurlburt Field to Cannon AFB at the same time).
Cheers, Bob
