Landing at Beale AFB..
They came from Springfield, MO originally I believe.
Thats a big flight of C130s for Beale, somethings up.
Nope… looks like they are landing at Sacramento Intl. now…
Or McClellan… but its been closed for years
They are landing at an Air Force base that stopped being a base in 2001 and is now a civil field. Anyone else think that strange?
Saga of the C-130 HAVOC flight
1) Picked up flight of C-130 Hercules planes with HAVOC callsigns around midnight last night near Springfield, MO, continued west over Colorado Springs. Center plane in formation has a "Q" in it's callsign.
2) Picked up again pulling some maneuvers near Palmdale, seems to land.
3)Flight picked up heading north, all but one plane changed from HAVOC callsigns to RCH.
4)Flight lands at McClellan airfield in Sacramento, a former AFB closed since 2001!
Luckily Hercs fly slowly so was able to get some sleep last night… surprised to see them this morning still going. Keep eyes on Sacramento, we need to see if they leave. If they don't leave then something weird is going on!
Its right in East Sacramento, used to be a MAJOR nuclear equipped base… not much going on there since it was turned over to civil use.
Knew a guy that used to by an MP there guarding B43 nuclear bombs back in the day.
