Diversion due fog at Mildenhall, "GAF053" C-160D 50+41. Departed Sunday 18th.


BZZ Sunday 18th December 2016

"TUN026" C-130J-30 Z21121/TS-MTK. Departed again for CYYT.

RCH045 departed Birmingham just before 1830Z for Spangdahlem, but turned around over the North Sea and diverted to Prestwick.

Other diversions to Birmingham due to fog at Brize Norton were "RRR5543" Hercules C.4 ZH873. and "RRR6629" C-17 ZZ172.

"FIXER55" was showing on ADS-B Exchange with hex AE57D4.

This might be USCG HC-130J 2010 - as the hex follows on directly from those of 2007/2008/2009.

BZZ Monday 12th December 2016

Atlas C.1 ZM408 43C5E2 was delivered this afternoon as "RRR4091".

Thursday 8th December 2016

14.21Z About to land at Wiesbaden is "DRAGN15" hex AE5B16.

Live-military-mode-s shows this as being Beech 300 07-61015.

Has anyone any further information on this aircraft - c/n, previous civil identity, etc.?

Thanks,

Bob

According to FighterControl, it had an IFE and had to shut an engine down. Was squawking 7700 on return trip.

Landed safely back at Cranwell.

Hi Paul,

According to FighterControl, it was logged on SBS 28 Nov 2016 over the UK (on delivery, presumably) as 3CC00E D-CAAO.

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?

Bob you say AE5C92 is not likely to be a RO-6A. I am not saying it is an RO-6A, but it perfectly fits in the other RO-6A hexcodes : AE5C8C 15-00352 AE5C8D nn AE5C8E 15-00358 AE5C8F nn but HEX noted Tuscon feb and aug-16 AE5C90 15-00577 AE5C91 nn AE5C92 your Crook 47.
