Hi,
Thanks for the info, do you have the registration of the aircraft? Final question, would I have seen it parked outside your hanger this morning?
Thanks,

Emirates,

yes, it was in front of the hangar this morning. Saw it as well but couldn't read the reg unfortunately.
I believe the last digit was a "7".
As a matter of fact, the bird just took off some 5 minutes ago.

Cheers,

Is BAF C130 CH-14 doing testflights/trainingflight also today? Saw and heard him passing by several times, between, Aalter - Ruiselede - EBUL.

yes i saw the aircraft arriving arround 15.15. But they stopped on the taxiway, the door went open, en someone jumped out to check the nose landing gear. 3 minutes later, he reentered the aircraft, door was closed , and they continued taxiing to the apron.

The people from SNT military have converted the old scrap C130 (ex evergreen) to an almost brand new C130 they changed practically everything. But because the test flights are always preformd by an other crew there are always new (little) problems found. They don't care the costs, it would be cheaper to buy an new plane than what happend to the CH14.

Yes unbelievable they could make this ex museum frame again airworthly. It says enough about the skill of these guys, really good job! Btw welcome "sabenatechnics" and tx for sharing your pics & info. I see the problem with attaching pics has been solved .
