Anybody for the KC-130J that arrived here today (17 feb) from Lisbon? ADSB gave it as 166762, but Lisbon airport system gave it as 167112. So far I haven't been able to get it confirmed by any of the Lisbon spotters, so any Lajes spotters that may have seen it arrive in Lajes? Visual confirmations of course, as I am not sure the ADSB tie-up can be believed.

Hi. You raise a good point. I've seen that one on the ADS-B as 166762 but this was not the correct serial. Flight plan was filled as 167112 and I've just seen a photo on Facebook of him departing from Lisbon. It has codes BH 7112 on tail.
Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the answer, I saw it only now. I too have had confirmation by now that with 100% certainty it was 167112. Not sure what went wrong on ADSB, but it had the wrong serial linked to the plane.
