Title: HEX A3ED57 N352MJ UNID
Post by: Sketco on May 15, 2025, 12:14:31 AM
HEX A3ED57 N352MJ and in company with 1 other N number a/c appeared in the vicinity of Fairford at around 23:50 14/05/25.

Enquiry on the N number shows reserved by DOD for United Arab Emirates and a reference to 352 SOW/A3V.
I believe A3V refers to Air Force Materiel Command HQ AFMC/A3V Eglin AFB Florida. The 352SOW being stationed at RAF Mildenhall.

Can anyone shed light on the aircraft N352MJ and or it's travelling companion. A new delivery perhaps?

I`m seeing N352MJ as a CL35..Few websites suggest the same
including the FAA, some say its a C-130J though with a miscoded box..

Thanks for the reply.
Interesting. Here's a screenshot of the FAA registry entry.
The C130 would make sense, maybe a delivery bound for the UAE?.
Appreciate the info.

It's  a C130 out of EGUN see WWW.fightercontrol.com   There are 2 c130's miscoding doing "covert" flights all over the UK using N reg. I saw this one over cumbria last sept. HTH. CLIVE

That sounds like the perfect tie up.
I have one in the database now, so hopefully as they seem to fly in pairs, i'll get the other one too.
Appreciate the come back on this.
