Showing up coming into land now.....I think its a USAF hercules

[Unknown74]

Just saw it on FR24 as heading into Edinburgh then looked up & got a very quick glimpse of it on Finals. Is this a US Marine Corps Herc?

[rh226]

The callsign should indicate a VMGR-452 KC-130T (with tail code NY).

KC-130T 165315 ''NY' of VMGR-452 U.S.M.C. Confirmed by mk 1 eyeball.

Great to see a USMC Herc back at EDI! Guessing it’s an overnight stop?

They have been in the past Callum, and given it's come over the pond, I would think likely.

Thanks for that confirmation Landshark2084.
I saw it as it passed Dunoon doing the tourist route to Edi.

Stopping for 2 nights according to the current plan. Leaving Tuesday morning.

[Callum1998]

Stopped to see it en route to work this morning. Cheers for the info guys

Where is it parked?

Where is it parked?

Near the Cargo area as per the photo linked below

[Unknown74]

Is this in anyway connected to the USMC F-35 deployment at Lakenheath or Marham or wherever it is?

Highly unlikely. These ‘NY’ coded Hercs have been regular visitors to Edinburgh for past 5/6 years. So I’d imagine it’s pit stop en route to a more dusty climate

[Glamdring]

Where is it parked?

Stand 211

Any idea of a departure time if it leaves on Tuesday? I'm up in Edinburgh tomorrow, so might have the opportunity to look in at the airport.
