The operator of 00-9001 and 02-4452 is the NJ ANG at KWRI. That is clear-cut and in the open.Shrike wrote:I am also following the secretive C-32Bs. When ADS-B offered the list of a/c ( unfortunately deleted late September 2019) I found out that once last year 25001, 09001 and 96143 were all noted the same time over different locations in the US. On another occasion 24452, 09001 and 96143 were all in the air, and indeed also 25001 and 09001 were seen at the same time. So according to ADS-B there should be indeed 4 different a/c. Interestingly 86001 - which I photographed at RST in January 2016 - has never been noted by me in the list. Finally one clarification: the writing as "02-5001" is surely not correct as I noted 25001 in RST already visually in November 2000! These are "bogus " serials and not FY-serials. I maintain that this applies also to all other C-32B-serials.
As for 02-5001,99-6143 and (98)-6006 things become much murkier. These three, if they have military designations could be C-32Cs. The New Jersey pair ( AFAIK C-32Bs) are air-refuellable, it is unlikely the others are, due to the short(ish) flights they make with fuel stops. Certainly N226G is one or more of these airframes. Another L3 Corp. B757 is also likely to be a candidate for this role.
The fact these have full ADS-B is strange, as are their predictable RCH callsigns. The operator of them maybe realises they have been 'smoked out' and is being more open about them these days.
