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.
