The 'black' USAF C-32Bs

02-4452 was into McChord as what sounded like Zoo or Zook 71 on a quick turn.

Sorry for not wanting to go through the entire thread, but as I was browsing through the Airliners.net forum, I came across a thread about a B757 with reg N757LL, which has not been seen for quite some time now: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forum ... n/5505983/.

Before 'disappearing' it also carried winglets (as I saw from some pics after googling images for N757LL). Is it too much of technical issue to remove them and operate the B757 without them?

I'm sorry if the possibility has already been discussed.

Have a great weekend,

09001 is sitting at LLBG right now and, it has black engine intake covers! Otherwise, it is all white. Has a small stars and stripes by the serial.

Flying as Sike 71 on the 19th July.

The callsigns for this airplane and 02-4452 always seem to be in the 7x range.

On the departure board (to BUD?) as "ZIK71"

02-9001 departed KADW at 0720 local as DUST72. Headed SW.

02-5001 was heading NE and climbing along the eastern shore of Virginia and Delaware between 1345-1415 local.

That's funny. Just now 02-5001 and 00-9001 showed up in my area.

02-5001 heading SW over the West Virginia eastern panhandle at FL380
9001 is somewhere else heading 350 and descending from FL300.

in http://www.ng.mil/ll/Publications/2012% ... Online.pdf the C-32B is mentioned for some 2012 updates. Newsfactor for me is that they say that 150th SOS is the sole operator in the Air Force. Suggetsing that the Eglin based unit no longer exist.

Nice document!
btw : This document list Air National Guard only, 486 FLTS is the Eglin based C-32B operator, and i am pretty sure this unit is not ANG unit.

You are right but the doc says ANG operates 100% of the fleet
