Picked up a Lockheed Hercules this morning, N403LC in the Sydney area this morning on SBS (ModeS only).

Anybody know any details.

TIA

Yep, I saw it too; belongs to Lynden Air Cargo and pretty sure it was the one involved with the oil rig spill but it may have been another one!

N403LC was WSSL-YPDN-YSSY yesterday. Not sure if it has left SYD yet??

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Logged on Mode-S again around 1420 so must have been in SYD all morning.
Missed that one!!

Hi All,

Great photos Sarah. thanks fpr putting them up

Lynden953 just contacted Melbourne Center and is on the way in again. Thanks to jetspotter for the heads up.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Nice shots Sarah; still on Mode-S at the moment so must be close.
Any idea how long it's staying Gerard?

[Gerard M]

No idea at the moment sorry Peter.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

No worries; it will probably o'nite so will look out for it tomorrow. Missed it yesterday as it was close to home but busy with decking repairs so didn't 'look'.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Missed it again!! Flew overhead around 0920 but in cloud, could hear it and eventually saw 'the back of it' somewhere past Penrith.

Managed to get a close up look of her this morning after walking of JQ38 which pulled into the cargo bays right next to her. Didn't have a camera unfortunatly.

Cheers
