Re: MC-12W current situation

The (infamous) 10-00738 [AE543E] has just been showing on ADS-B (22.30UTC) at FL270 heading a bit South of East over Gila Bend, AZ in the general direction of Las Cruces, NM.

Rather inconveniently, it stopped plotting N of Tucson.

If anyone can help with the serials, I (and he) would be most grateful.
