You sure you're not mixing 168898 up with 164998 a C-130T which has been in numerous times this year ?

Mark, P8 168998 has been in a few times since it arrived to Sigonella with VP5 last October. It was one of the couple frames that didn't go back to Jacksonville when VP5 and VP10 swapped in March.

Lancer 98 (168998) arrived 14:30ish L on Saturday. Trev is correct in saying the other two left Saturday. Al is correct with the other dates although I have 998 down as arriving on the 15th October 17 as Madfox 05 :)
