MC-130J 11-5731

Post by Agent K » Wed Nov 04, 2020 9:30 am

Heard a familiar sound overhead me in Henlow last night 21:50 local last night and looked on a plotter to see it was MC-130J 11-5731 at 15,000ft from the USA and descending into Mildenhall, callsign SAUCY41. Is this a replacement/rotation aircraft for Mildenhall or is it heading further on?

It was and probably still is just a 67SOS MC-130J back from maintenance

Wonder if it has any extra lumps or bumps ?
