Paphos Request 9th & 12th September 2017
Paphos Request 9th & 12th September 2017
Have just got back from a weeks holiday in Cyprus- and I wondered if anyone could tie up for me the following sightings in and out of Paphos.
Saturday 9th September
Approx 10:00 am & 10:05 am 2 x C130’s on climb out of Paphos (Hellenic?)
Tuesday 12th September
18:43 C130 inbound Paphos
Long shot I know but would be grateful for any replies.

Hi Bob
The following pair of C-130s were picked up 4 minutes apart in the climb to FL240 by a Mode S source based at Paphos on Saturday 9th - Times are Zulu, which if I'm not mistaken is -3 from local Cypriot time/EEST, and so seem - more or less - to fit with what you saw...
44F42E CH-13 BAF641 06:38
44F42C CH-12 BAF644 06:42
And this one on Tuesday 12th was picked up descending through 8,300' & may be pertinent...
45F429 B-537 DAF2208 15:22
I would add that in the absence of any visual reports of the above C-130s being on the deck at Paphos, I can't verify 100% that they actually landed at/departed from Paphos. That said, looking at the Mode S capable traffic picked up in that area & on those dates/times, those above seem to be the most likely options; but please feel free to treat the foregoing info with great caution if you wish.
Best wishes
