You have most probably got the KC-130T wrong. 162311/QH-2311 was the only 'QH' C-130 parked north side at 1100 this morning with no sign of 163023. I did hear it later doing an engine run so it is still present. Also, the Turkish C-130 is marked 73-0991 and has been for a few months.

Location : Wakefield Spotter Watch Member : No

I only saw 1 C130 parked between the 2 B1s, it looked like it was marked QH but wasnt 100% sure.

Can anybody tell me if im correct with the C130 163023 which was between the 2 B1s??

Many Thanks

If it was 2330 then it was 162311/QH, 163023 had been moved to the other side of the runway by then. It followed its' engine run with a 20 min test flt. as Ranger72 then returned to Charlie and is currently next to its' squadronmate.

James, when I got there this morning 162311 was the only one where the B1s were, 163023 did an engine run but not seen but did a short flight this afternoon and taxied out from the south side where the based stuff is.

Location : Wakefield Spotter Watch Member : No

Ahh right, Many thanks chaps!

So 162311 was the one over by the B1 area but there was another C130 parked over the other side near/ or on the hot ramp.

Many Thanks

James,

162311/QH was the one that was parked between the B-1's all day today (Saturday) on the Northern side of the runway .
The Turkish stars Herk (73-991) was parked to the South of the runway, and parallelling the runway facing North/West.
163023 was parked further South from the Turkish stars Herk, but as already mentioned this took off as "RANGER 72" at 14:28 on a 20 minute test flight. This then returned, landed and parked next to 162311/QH.

163023 said he has permission to depart during quiet hours tomorrow (Sunday) at 09:00.

Hope that clears it up for you.
