The Republic of Singapore Air Force has acquired 4 ex-Spanish C-130 transport aircraft to replace it’s C-130Bs.
The first aircraft T.10-08 arrived in Singapore on Dec. 11, 2025 at approximately 07:30pm local time.
While the night landing was not deliberately done to obscure it’s arrival from Sri Lanka. It is interesting to note that the plane’s Mode S address or ICAO 24-bit address, a unique identifier assigned to every aircraft, was changed from 343088 to 343FFF on its final leg home.
Spanish registrations for the aircraft are T.10-08, T.10-09 , TK.10-07, TL 10-01. Three have arrived so far.
