Did you get the rego of the Herc sitting on one of those bays behind the tower closer to where you were? That was the one that had the engine problems yesterday? 447 i think i saw?

No I didn't sorry

Two questions, does anyone know why RCH5E1 is only leaving today as it just came up on my PP. Secondly, the mode S that it is using is for 96-0008 - Spirit of the Total Force and not the rego that i saw out there on Monday?

Gerard, USAF C17 that came into Richmond on Monday at 0915 was 05-514296 (hexcode AF144C) with callsign RCH5E1. It departed Richmond at 1425 on Wed 24 June again with callsign RCH5E1. Today's C17, also used callsign RCH5E1, was 96.0008 (hexcode AE07F2).

OK thanks for that Noel. Didn't know the hexcode that mondays used and didn't know if it had been swapped or anything like that between aircraft.
Possibly a TS09 movement?
