Re: Air Mobility Command removing markings

Below (from my photographer) is how all the 22nd ARW Pegasii look now, at least they still (10th Feb) have the serials on the tail.
Equally worrying is that a 317th C-130J has just visited my local jetport and not "pinged" on either ADSB nor FR24 (thankfully not reqd!)

Re: Sevilla San Pablo 2023

So probably just before you were there, MSN129 with an RAF/UK flash on the tail was pushed back in the hangar (that the 131 came out of), and Canadian 509 was also behind the hangars.

Please feel free to move this but "Russian 'plane crashes" doesn't seem to merit a new section:-

"A Russian military plane (reported as a Sukhoi) crashed into Irkutsk residential building on Sunday morning according to Russian state media."
