No worries Craig,

Looks as though the other two HC-130P's have arrived. Picked up King 21 - 64-14852 along with King 16 - unknown rego SBS AE1219 up North from the 71st rescue squadron. I think these are three of the Hercs that are going to be based out of Richmond and from what i can gather they seem to be transiting up and down daily at the moment as Craig mentioned earlier. Has anyone got any photos of these birds at Richmond or further north yet?

Popped out to RIC this morning. All 3 USAF 'Kings' were there.
Need to confirm that one was 63-9810 C130E which also belongs to 71st RQS and could be Hex code AE1219. 65-0986 has moved to the flight line whereas 64-14852 and 63-9810 are parked near the terminal.

I expect they will probably flying during the week so will keep a lookout on Mode-S.

Thanks for the regos of the hercs Peter. I noticed that King 21( 64-14852 which i cant find a picture on the net of anywhere) flew up to Queensland Rocky and back again this afternoon/evening. So i guess Andrew there might be some flying activity on the weekends from Richmond if they are transitting up and back all the time.

Did you manage to get any photos Peter?

Sorry Gerard, no photos as they were parked in 'non-photegenic' positions.

As a rule I don't push my luck with mil photos out there as I used to work on the base and photo's are taboo.
