Req: Hercules formations @ Adriatic coast in Italy

Post by marcel32us »

Hi all,

Last few weeks I was in Bibione, Italy. A few times I saw formations of C-130 's flying a little to the west of Bibione, from the Adriatic sea to the north (inland). Every time this occurred between 15:30 and 17:30.

On tuesday 20th the formation consisted of 2 aircraft, on wednesday 21st there were 3 and on thursday 22nd there were 2 again.

Would anyone know what they were doing? And as an extreme longshot, I don't suppose anyony would know which planes were involved??

TIA for any answers,
Marcel
