I was out shopping and heard a non-normal sound.

 

Looked up.

 

C-130 taking off.

 

Heading NW over .... 5-dock/Concorde when I saw it.

I'm in Five Dock and missed it.

Well, I was walking to the shops and I'm sure it was.

 

4 big spinny things on a high wing plane.

 

Alas I couldn't get Flight Radar to load quick enough to get more info.

 

I am sure of the time as I tried to call someone I know who lives in your area who is also into planes.  So I looked at the time I called them.

It wasn't a C130 , but rather a  Antonov AN12 operated by Ukraine Air Alliance . It arrived from Kupang the previous day and departed back to Kupang at approx 0930 on the 18th .

Thanks.    At the distance I thought it was a C130.

 

It's a conspiracy!   I tried to load "Flight Radar" (the app on my phone) and it wouldn't load.

 

I wasn't supposed to see it.  😉
