MC-130J with ID taped

Post by Ronald Jeremy » Wed May 29, 2024 5:35 pm

Evening gents,

I’m currently at Mildenhall and there is an Herc on the SOG ramp with its ID taped out. Can anyone confirm which one this is?

Also in my haste leaving home this morning I forgot my scope and only have my mini-bins. Anyone confirm the six Ospreys (one looks to be 0058). Struggling to read these with such underpowered bins.

20-5937 was delivered with a taped serial back in December, I’m guessing it’s not been removed.

On 31st May there were six in a row with one taped over and no serial on the nose either.

The other five were 05937,05941,25759,65839 and -5778. So 05937 had regained its identity by then.
