Comment
Gotcha !Had my eye on it since it appeared on the Azores, meaning this "C130" most likely crossed the big pond.
One tracker 'saw' it but claimed the ADS-B address was "N/A" -- no idea how that would work. Another, "disrupted" by incorrectly claiming the flight was "BLOCKED".
You have to wonder how these trackers seem to know which ADS-B code they spot is "N/A" or which flight that isn't blocked (LADD) is "BLOCKED".

Once it entered the 'right' airspace it was revealed.
Turns out it is quite a bird indeed. It's been in the news several times. Last time was this July as result of a trip to Taiwan. The Taiwanese Liberty Times (use translate) also payed quite a bit of attention to its arrival in Taiwan.
So now it's in Abidjan.
