Call Sign Rider

[Noel White]

In the Sydney area, I have been receiving hits for Call Sign Rider 18, 28, 38 and 48 from an a/c with a single hexcode 76E30E. Along with Mark T. suspect it could be a Singapore Air Force C130. The hits first appeared on 10th May and virtually every day since then, but never on a weekend.

Any information would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Noel

I'm quite sure you are right . I believe it a Singpaore AF C130 too . If I recall correctly the same c/s has been used before when using Parkes Airport for the purposes of parachute sorties .

There is a photo on Facebook showing '735' parked. My Basestion history shows many low level sorties since it arrived in early may. at first i thought they had brought out a chopper as these flights never went past 5000' but yesterday it was at FL150. Mode-S reg is 9V-XXN.

G'day Guys.

I have seen a camo C130H flying very low over Penrith almost daily over the last couple of weeks, heading towards Richmond. From what I can make out it has a large Singapore flag just above the front door. A friend told me that he saw it flying low over Nowra a couple of days ago. I thought it may of been in support of para training from Nowra.

Just to confirm, the RSAF C-130H is using the callsign "RIDER"!
