Thanks, Russ.
85-0008 went into Mildenhall around 01.00 this morning HZ-124 went Transatlantic and the other three Saudis went Westbound into Shannon (presumably for a "gas & go") 07-7186 was Westbound and the other three RCH flights were all Eastbound into Europe.
Situation as at 10.00Z:-
"RRR4996" Atlas ZM400 [43C5DA] departed Northolt out over SAM and is currently "playing" over Guernsey.
"MCE02" the supposedly WFU Hercules ZH884 [43C1AB] is up from Cambridge on an air test.
("RCH727") KC-135R 62-3545 [AE042A] is inbound Mildenhall, currently over the North Sea.........using its correct hex code for a change.
"CTM1758" EMB.121AA 090 [3B772E] is plotting over Dagenham at FL200. heading for BPK and then up North (probably to either DSA or Coningsby) |

Thanks, Mark. Ever since Jeroen pointed out its true identity on FC, I've been following it. And flugzeugforum.de indicated that it was going to be departing today 10.00Z or soon after, so I was definitely looking out for it.
Then ADS-B stopped plotting it at the critical time (!!), but I've got PP running as well and it continued to show on that - albeit slightly behind. Fortunately, I know exactly where to look (OTT Bristol is directly above the chimney pot of the house opposite) and there it was - an unmistakeable C-5!!
The other 7 are 3 scrapped and 4 crashed (1 before any C-5s came into Europe) |
