Copenhagen (EKCH/CPH) - 2008

Post by jaah »

Help needed on US Army C-12 in Copenhagen

On August 13th I saw a US Army C-12T Huron in Copenhagen. It was registered 84-00173.
The Scramble database shows it as belonging to the 1st MI Bn of the 205th MIBDE in Wiesbaden. But in the Scramble US Army order of battle it says that the 1st MI Bn only flies the RC-12K. And according to the US Army website the 205th MIBDE does no longer exist. See link: http://www.205mi.wiesbaden.army.mil/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
So my question is; what unit does "my" C-12 belong to and where is it based?
Kind regards

Jonas

I think you are right about it being a C-12U not a C-12T.
So it seems like the 1st MI Bn does have other aircraft than just RC-12K's. But what about the 205th MIBDE? Does anyone have any info about that? Does it still exist or what?
Kind regards
