AK01 wrote: 10-0737 AE4C63 FL-737 active 224th MIB,aug-18, is Emarss M1 so MC-12S-2 by now. Latest scramble magazine doubts if this was ever serialed as 10-0737 at all, there are plenty of pictures on the internet, so was definelty 10-0737. Has it been re-serialed to 11-00289 for instance? last picture i can find of 10-0737 is of 2014, 11-00289 showed up the 1st time in jan-15 at Tuscon/AZ...
AE4C63 (former 10-0737) is now on ADSB on a flight out of Ft Hood with callsign R00289.
This confirms that 10-0737 became 11-00289 during 2014.

Re: MC-12W current situation

Post by AK01 »

When the topic started there were MC-12W's and MC-12S's, so there is a seperate topic for the MC-12S's : viewtopic.php?f=48&t=128131
Since then some MC-12W's have been modified to MC-12S-2 version. So nowadays it seems more logical to make one topic out of those two.
I am working on an overview of all C-12 versions, however that needs some more time.

A lot of it is wrong.

09-0654 appeared briefly on ADS-B this morning, plotting off the extreme SE of Greece,, possibly heading towards Souda.

It routed Rota to Naples(?) on 04 Oct 2018 as RCH1000 and continued East on the 6th.

"08-0353 AE2921 nov-15 455th AEW? USAF MC12W FL-353 Graphite or PL04/ Kingston/ON 12/11/2015"

After being lost for more then 3 years this one first appeared on a local test flight KGVT/ Greenville the 23rd of January.
It departed KGVT yesterday the 30th as Airforce353 to KDSM/ Des Moines. Guess this was parked on Greenville for the last 3 years.
