2xC-130 swbound 10:30z

[Deleted]

Two C-130s in loose formation southwestbound at medium level, easily visibly against high cloud. Only C130s on SBS are:

"Shado 61" 69-5826 FL190
"Macho 62" 69-5832 no level given

I believe FL190 is the wrong level for that direction, although ATC can allocate any level. The altitude looked right.

I'm not good on C-130 ID but they had "pods" under the wings..

Would anyone have any more info please??

I had a good look at these as they passed over ODI, MC130s do fit the bill. Also have it on good authority that the 'Macho' c/sn was applied to the radar return.
