The new Bangladesh Air Force C-130J 99-5485 finally makes her outing today. Ex RAF C.5 ZH887 has got civilian registration S3-AGJ. Perhaps S3-AGH has been reserved for ex ZH883. As GRE is being serviced this week, the aircraft is likely to run engines later today outside on Delta.

The new Bangladesh Air Force Lockheed C-130J (99-5485, S3-AGJ) first outing at Cambridge Airport on September 9, 2021, almost a year since the delivery of the third BAF C-130J 99-5480 (S3-AGG). The refurbished ex RAF ZH887 aircraft's civil registration breaks an alphabetic order of BAF C-130 registrations, suggesting that the 'skipped' S3-AGH reg is reserved for the sister plane 99-5481 (ex ZH883), which is still under conversion.

On the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Bangladesh Business Council hosted a Virtual Business Roundtable with Bangladesh Prime Minister Her Excellency Sheikh Hasina and over 30 senior executives from U.S. and Bangladesh business community.

Looks like Boeing's sales director, Sean Klosterman participated in this meeting. Wonder what they discussed about.

Fighter aircraft of Bangladesh Air Force comprising Mig-29 and F-7 flew over Godnail (Narayanganj), Eastern Refinery (Chittagong), House of AVM Sultan Mahmud (officer commanding, Kilo Flight) to commemorate the courageous contribution of Kilo Flight during the Liberation War.

In addition to that, a fascinating fly past over Tejgaon airfield was conducted by C-130, K-8W, PT-6 aircraft, Mi-17 and Bell-212 helicopters, read the statement.

On this occasion, spectacular fireworks and cultural program were arranged in the evening.
