Saudi Herc question

Subject: Saudi Herc question 2009-02-28, 16:11

Just a quick question. IIRC the Saudi Herc comes in to Warton early in the month. As I'm planning a visit next week with my brother, a heads up on what day it normally arrives would be appreciated.

*Just looked again at the monthly logs. It appears to arrive on the first tuesday of the month - is this correct?*

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately the Saudi C130 visits to Warton vary from time to time they use to come on Mondays

and go out Wednesdays but there is usually a two day break for the crew to visit the "Fleshpots" of

Blackpool. So if they come on Tuesday as you report out on Thursdays. The C130s land anytime

between 3.0pm & 5.0pm. I will PM you with some additional info.

As I explained in the above answer you can never be sure which day the C130 will come.

16.14pm Monday 2nd, March,09 Saudi 602 coded 472 landed in heavy rain on runway 26 and
taxied to cargo. If the C130 follows the usual pattern it will depart on Wednesday between 9am to
12 noon. Oh dear 39 minutes out in my reporting but went out as Saudi 602 as per mon.
