The new MC-130J replaced 08-6205 which departed to the USA 11.12

31/12. Just popped down to see the new Herky and noted it had the serial on the tail taped over. Did it arrive like this?

Yes it is but not solely Mildenhall - anything related to milavia

Originally a yahoo group dating back to the early 90s

Touchdown is still going strong - I have lost contact with the group as I could only read but not post - something to do with changing my account to a Gmail account?

Somebody here should be able to help
