Il-76 and new C-130

Post by Stafsels »

Hi all,

For what reason and which comp. is the Il-76 on platform West standing at Eindhoven?
And what will be the two new G-numbers for the "new"short Hercules aircraft?

Anybody?

Greetings,

A very short search for the serials of the "new" C-130's gave G-781 and G-988.
The last one is seen testing it's engines recently.

Thanks!

That should mean that G-988 should be the one that is expected now the first half of 2009, with some delay as it should have arrived last week....
