Dobbins ARB, GA (KMGE/MGE) MIL - 2024

[Piet Luijken]

I visited Dobbins ARB between 0930lt and 1300lt on wednesday 1 may 2024.
Mostly I was at the cemetery to take pictures of the flying Hercules(92-0551 as COBB51 doing touch and goes between 1030lt and 1230lt), but I also visited the museum and I drove up the Richardson Road to spot the aircraft parked at LMTAS and the US Army parking.

Tx for this info. I will amend log if needed. There are no outside differences between L and v variants?

[AndyMarden]

The V has a slightly different aerial fit, but nothing extremely obvious if you're having a quick look.

[Piet Luijken]

Thanks Andy, now I see the three GPS antennas on top of the tail boom. Quite distinct! Which figures with the advanced GPS based cockpit.
