Quite a trip this aircraft has made the past weeks. Around the world.

Indeed, this was a very big tour.

Thanks to RadarBox, ADS-B and some info from Le Addeur Noir, was able to make this list...this aircraft visited Nice, Akrotiri, Dubai, Maldives, Singapore, Jakarta, Darwin, Adelaide, Canberra, Sydney, Guam, Hawaii, San Francisco, Andrews & Bangor and finally into Northolt & Brize Norton.

Also RAAF Edinburgh from Adelaide. From a source in Australia, this C-130 was due to depart Sydney on the 22nd July, but was AOG there for over a week. Another short stop was at Andrews AFB, MD on the 30th.

RAF C-130s have a reputation for going unserviceable in Australia (and probably New Zealand) during the northern winters. Sometimes for long periods of time. Strange, that.

**Edit, I have 19:52 arrival from KBGR (Bangor, IAP, ME) and departure at 20:19 to Brize. Times can be checked on ADS-B.
