C-40B 02-0042 went to the US at 31-01-2017 as SPAR 99, latest positions received around Texas and Arkansas. Maintenance?
On 21-08-2017 his hex was picked up by a receiver near Aviano what must be a mistake given the fact that in the US no hexcodes were received since 03-02-2017.
C-37A 01-0076 was in the US since 16-11-2016 but returned at 10-08-2017. Returned to the States again at 16-08-2017 as SPAR 80 (standard callsign for NATO SACEUR flights). Source of all the mode-s data: http://www.live-military-mode-s.eu.
I'm wondering if there will come a replacement for the C-20's.

The C-40 indeed went Statesside for maintenance, and the C-20s won't be replaced.
