U.S. Army Now Flying C-12S

Post by pilotman1260 »

I have been watching these with interest because they are few and far between at the moment,based on the King Air 350 this aircraft can carry 8-15 passengers and has quick conversion cargo capability. There are only a few all of these have been into Huntsvile Intl(KHSV) lately.

10-0256
10-0257
10-0259
10 or 11-0261

The last one i know that at least one of the aircraft is an 11 year aircraft,and that is the last one i know about.

Thank You!

According my info its the C-12U? The C-12S is a model based on the Beech B300 (King Air 350) ?

Only one c/n known at the moment: C-12U (Beech B200C) 10-0257 is BL-159, tested as N80259. And c/n BT-160 (test marks N6350Z) is probably 10-0258. Also BL-163 (testmarks N81413), BL-164 (testmarks N81304) and BL-165 (testmarks N80565) are probably for the US Army. Also allocated testmarks are N8129N for BL-169. (BL-161, BL-162, BL-166, BL-167 and BL-168 were sold to Australia).

BR,

Robert
