REQ American Herc to EPPW today

Post by Hermolaus »

A friend from Powidz AB (EPPW) told me they expect arrival of an American C-130 today (21 May 09) in the evening. Its ETA is 1900CEST. The Americans are going to conduct some PJE from this plane, don't know for how long.
Could anyone help me find the C-130 while on its way to Poland?
Any ideas what plane could it be and from which AB? ETAR maybe?

All kind of help would be much appreciated! TIA!

BALOO 69 currently working Dutch Mil Heading to Germany.
Showing as MC130 69-5825.

This might be your bird, but from this point I can not be certain.

Well, many thanks for this info, but isn't it too early? The first version I heard from a mentioned friend was suggesting its ETA to be 1500LT. But then he told me of 1900LT (1700z).
Have no idea how accurate his info is, but its the only thing I got...

working 128.500 -> 135.350 , not eastbound but to the South. Might be an inbound Ramstein/Stuttgart.

At this point I would say, Not your bird.

Just got an info from another friend: ETA changed to 1700LT (1500z). So this bird could be the one! :D
Thus any info on this MC-130 is more than welcome!
