There are 13 RAF Hercs parked outside currently, out of total 15. The question is which two are inside.
On 15th of January I saw a RAF Herc temporarily pulled out of Hangar 10. It looked intact with a complete tail, no paper on the windows and no tape on the doors. Its 'new' white two-digit identifier was 78 (ex ZH878).

I've made a new "inventory" of ex-RAF C-130Js at the end of the day today, 14-Feb-2025. There are 13 aircraft outside: 65, 89 and 68 on the side of H17; 88, 75, 66, 72, 70 and 79 in the front of H17; and 67, 69, 71 and 74 near the tower. The remaining two aircraft, 77 and 78, are currently inside.

Are any of the usmc herks outside currently?

Passing by this morning, only RAF Hercs visible from crashgate 4 at the east end.

Thanks, saves me a trip
