OTIS is the callsign of Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 (VMGR-252) stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina and operating KC-130s. It has used this callsign for decades, as it happens. As ever, personal observation can be more reliable than the databases of an online tracking site.

Ah a turbo prop, that would explain why it was out of the NAT tracks, not fast enough. Cheers

yep, it's a miscoded box... the ADSB followers are always annoyed by it....

The KC-135 it's mapped to also, appears to have not flown since the summer and is in Phoenix Arizona

Wouldn't be a full load after 4-5 hours from departure.
I'm gonna guess it was low level to prevent traffic issues with civilian traffic.
Also the USAF dont need to care for fuel efficiency too much.

FL270 is below the eastbound NAT HLA tracks, so out of the way of the majority of civi traffic. (https://code7700.com/airspace_nat_hla.htm#ref).

This was deffo a C130, I caught a glimpse of it just west of Mullingar yesterday morning heading east under patchy blue skies, unmistakable drone off it ,and also caught the sun glistening off the props, it flew onto Cambridge(UK)
incidentally "OTIS82" a C-130J(168069) USMC,has flown just south of Cork also heading a eastbound @25000ft

Strange. It was only flying at 27,000 feet, could that be because it had a full fuel load?

Thought I awoke to hear a turboprop aircraft going overhead here, Castlebar but upon checking flight radar. I think it was this aircraft.

EIXIN just took off from DUB, flew a few 100 km west over the Atlantic, turned right around and landed in .SNN

Tech issue?

Going to SNN for storage until the new year

I was following a air corps 139 on ADSBexchange from Dublin to the fermanagh border. It seam to be only showing now and again. Is that it dipping below radar or what would cause it not to not be constant to seen along its route on ADSBexchange?

Most likely because it is at low level and not close enough to a receiver feeding ADS-B Exchange to maintain coverage. That site does not seem to provide as good coverage of Ireland as FR24.

Ups248 takeoff from Dub to Shannon has returned to Dublin with a quick turnaround.
Person I know who lives close to runway said there was a large bang.

Lost an engine so that would explain the bang.

2 USAF KC-135's down over southwest England at the minute. Unusual to see them on FR24. 2 of them are from Mildenhall

Lots of helicopter activity over south Dublin this afternoon so I had a look at flightradar24 and noticed that flight DB241 from Bournemouth to New York was diverted to Shannon, landing at about 15.20. It left again at 16.50. Anyone know why it diverted? Nothing to be found by googling.

the helis were the air corps, think it was a cash transfer to the mint.
