20.17 STATE77 (? USAF) passing FL120 for FL200, final FL220, sq 2012. 15M NE of PLH, dir ARLOS. 20.40 Malta 123.625
(all times local Dutch time, GMT+2)

Hi Wolbie,
I have been following this State77 for a long time, i am now pretty sure i know what it is.
This bird is poping up on the SBS box of Livemode-s with bogus HEX 00010, and listed is listed there as a Nato E3A which is incorrect!
In the callsign box it either shows nothing or 2477.
I checked your logs for the last two months, and put them alongside the SBS logs on Alberts side.
9 out of the 10 times when your State77 climbs out of Souda , HEX code 00010 with 2477 in the callsign box pops up in SBS.
If you go to http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?p=493759 you will find a log from Patrick Moonen stating :
2477 CN.235 USAF (all white c/s)

Callsign State77, callsignbox 2477, visual confirmation in Souda, flightlevel and nature of the mission..... , all of this could be a coïncidence, but a am pretty sure this is a sneaky CN235 operating out of Souda for almost a year now.
Now Patrick , i and i guess many others would love to have more info on this 2477 CN235, so let's hope someone has more visual sightings or even better pictures, or even better a constructionnumber for this bird.

Regards Pieter,

Correct.Add State 71(C-12C 76-0171 ) and you have both airplanes of this unit.

Thank you very much! I can confirm a Morrocan Hercules in the afternoon, passing over my vacation location. The time matches perfectly with your CNA-OS entry
The last days , a lot of Morrocan hercules are coming to Athens for an unknown reason. Friends told me of up to 4 the same time on ground in Athens!

Atilla04 went further: Aviano, Mildenhall, Shannon (for overnight stop).
