Does someone know to what aircraft hexcode 4841C8 belongs?
It shows S-76 PH-NZS in planeplotter, but that aircraft isn't used anymore as far as I know.

Strange story!
This hex-code was previously connected to the PH-NZS Sikorsky helicopter from Bristol. End of 2012 the helicopter went back to Canada and was subsequently cancelled in the Dutch aircraft register.
We have spotted this hex-code alredy three times this year: 9/8, 10/10 and 15/11. But actually there is no aircraft in the Dutch register with this hex code.
Looks strange or just an error?

This one is not unknown but recent change over from Civil to Military,but still under Civil registration,
A6EB61,BE 350,N545KA,FL-545 Equipment Management LLC,is 09-00545 MC-12W to US Army as PAT 45KA,did go into a military airfield in Washington Area this evening.

The Interesting thing is Equipment Managment has the same address as TENAX Aviation,which flies a bunch of BEECH-1900/C-12J to and from Military Bases,especially N22889.

RCH267 crossed Dutch airspace today with civil 'default' hexcode 123456.

Visually identified as a C-17.

Anybody any info on this one?

Likely 90-0535 as she flew as such yesterday (with correct hexcode)

A couple more to add to the list of queries:-

AE5C78 and AE5C79, both seen (today and yesterday, respectively) on ADS-B over Colorado Springs up to FL240.

EDIT at 2103UTC:- AE5C7A has also appeared on ADS-B over Denver, CO climbing up to FL250.

Could these be the next three UC-12Ws for USMC/USN, as the hex codes follow on from N961FM/(unconfirmed 169319)? Operating out of Centennial?


Another query is AE5C7C seen on ADS-B over Georgia on 21 Feb 2017.

Thanks,

Bob

Bob 169319 AE5C77 has recently been confirmed as UC-12W of USMC Miramar.
It was at Williams/AZ on the 11th of March.
No clue so far on AE5C78 and 79.

Bob, AE5C78 79 are operating out of Moody AFB. So i suggest they are Embrears /AT29 or however you call them.

Phillip,
Germany has random hexcodes, so changing day by day, only the VIP aircraft (BD700/A310/A340) have fixed codes.
As for this flight, a german C160 was expected at Brussels, so C160 is correct.
