Viewed on ADS-B Exchange, "ARMY646" MC-12W 09-(0)0646 hexcode AE2F63 arrived Hagerstown shortly after 23.00Z tonight 02 Dec 2016. It flew direct from the approximate area East of Dallas/Fort Worth (Greenville?). Possible one for MC-12S-2 conversion?

Hex code AE53FC is currently popping up at ADSB exchange over the Czech Republic with callsign Dragon 78 (inbound Prague now) this fits in very well with 12-00278.

Pieter,
Planes.cz reports 20278 confirmed at PRG today, due out for BFS on the 14th.
I stumbled upon some official US Army Contracting Command documents regarding a RFP for life cycle acquistion management for the army's fixed wing fleet of transport and manned ISR aircraft recently. One of the documents gives a detailed overview of the SEMA aircraft that were part of the army's organisation as of 1 July 2015 (additions in bold).

10-0742 AE4C62 FL-742 Was active with 224th MIB, now believed to be at Greenville/TX since sep-2016
Greenville/TX is home for L3, Hagerstown is for Sierra Nevada.
A lot of data is from SBS/ livemode-s and ADSB Exchange. Any additional info is more then welcome!
There are still a lot of question marks, at least 5 or 6 have not been noted since 2015, and still seem to be in the Middle East, as it seems 455thAEW/Bagram and 451stAEG/Kandahar are the operating units for these MC-12's.

09-0659 departed Greenville on 13th January 2017 and flew (as viewed on ADS-B Exchange) into North Carolina on a heading that suggested a destination of one of the JB Pope/Bragg airfields. Noted by "pilotman6012" in his KHSV Radio Activity topic for that day with a callsign of "ARMY00659". On ADS-B the callsign was showing as "PL28".
On both 18th & 19th January 2017, I have noted it on ADS-B over North Carolina.
Your guess is as good as mine as to what it is up to.
Thanks Bob, edited my original message with your info.
Hammarö, don't know about Africa, i think they use the civil registered Beech 350's of the Special Ops in Africa.

A bit more for your Beech 350s from the FAA Registry.
An extra one for your list is N6366S A85741 FL-666...no further info other than that it is registered with US SOCOM.
N40GZ, N83KE and N586BW have left SOCOM and are now registered with the Arizona Dept. of Public Safety. Similarly, N357RL is now with J&D Petroleum of Tallahassee, FL.
Finally, N64TR routed Southbound over the UK (out of Prestwick) on 16 Jan 2016......to Africa??
