1505 C-130E Polish AF (nice, missed this at Frysian Flag!)

Also present was a grey Gulfstream. The heatwaves (already) made it impossible to read that one off, the serial seemed to end with 74. That doesn’t make sense obviously, possibly this was a based one, but any offers? It was parked next to the C-32, behind the main platform. There was another white aircraft here, possible the based C-40.
Herc 4631 is a problem. I’m sure I read off the fy as (0)7, but 4631 should be fy 06. However there are also 07-46310, 46311 and 46312 (stupid serial batch in my humble opinion…). I find it hard to believe I missed a complete digit at the end, but it was difficult to read off and I never expected the serial to have five digits after the fy anyway. Any thoughts on this one and its correct identity would be very welcome!
Not too many heavy transports, but the amount of non-local Hercs made up for this!

If 74 might be 76 , it could be 01-0076 a based one. Doesn't match the grey color...

07-46311 arrived Ramstein 10th may as RCH219.

[Patrick v]

64631 arrived 9-5
See my log.

I thought you were asking about 07-4631(?) In which case the answer is 07-46311.
which routed through Prestwick on the 10TH may on route to ETAR

[patrick dirksen]

THanks for the replies so far guys!

I thought about that serial, but the heatwaves had no effect on the colour
No, it definately is a grey one.

That's great, thanks for the confirmation!

I had seen that indeed, but like I said I'm sure the fy was 07.

I was! That reply was from another Patrick

All in all I am certain 07-46311 is the most plausible explanation.

[grunt087]

The Gray Gulfstream III is a Phoenix Air N63PA I believe. Ex Danish Air force paint .

[patrick dirksen]

Aha, N163PA you mean then, but that could indeed well be the case. Thanks!

[ZeMois]

I can confirm 07-46311 is the C-130J of the 19 AW, 41 AS that was at Ramstein the 15th.

As an addition to your log, i also saw the following three:
Arrival 12:00 C-5M Super Galaxy 87-0028 22nd AS
Arrival 15:30 C-130J-30 Super Hercules 08-8601/RS 86thAW 37th AS *86 OW cs [white/blue]
Flying local mission: C-40B Clipper 02-0042 76th AS


Cheers

[patrick dirksen]

Thanks for the confirmation! And the Gulf was indeed N163PA, as seen by us again on 23-5 (log to follow).
