Ohakea over the weekend

Air transport activity has been fairly quiet these past few days and participants for Kiwi Flag 2013 seem to have mostly flown the coop with the RAAF C130J heading home and onwards to the Philippines and presumably the RNZAF C130H also doing the same.

We have concluded the USMC KC130J 165736 departed Ohakea on the morning of 12 November for Pago Pago as "RAIDR17".

A French Army Casa 235, coded 82-IC/65 arrived at Ohakea 16 November from Noumea as "Cotam 1161" and was expected to depart overseas 17 November.



This leaves RSAF C130 735 and USAF C17's 98-0051 and 05-5146 at Ohakea.

C17 98-0051 was noted carrying out circuits on 17 November and that afternoon flew a mission to Timaru and back in support of Southern Katipo.  It has done the same again this morning with a run down the West Coast then through the Alps to Timaru.
