Scramble Messageboard

09-0654 appeared briefly on ADS-B this morning, plotting off the extreme SE of Greece,, possibly heading towards Souda.

It routed Rota to Naples(?) on 04 Oct 2018 as RCH1000 and continued East on the 6th.

For those interested, the hex code of the Moroccan C56X was 020141.

Does anyone know its c/n, please?

Cheers,

Bob


EDIT:- c/n is 560-6253

Saw some shots of the two US Army UH-60 on a Croatian FB page. One clearly 20314, without any doubt. The other one looks like 20245, last digit needs some confirmation. Both helicopters were donated to Croatia. Best regards, Rob 20245 and 20314 could well make sense as they are the two 1-214th heli...

I have not seen this mentioned before. On ADS-B and PP, over the last few weeks, I have noted 6x UH-60Ms operating in the Wiesbaden area under "DUKE" callsigns.
