The 'black' USAF C-32Bs

[Le Addeur noir]

C-32B 02-5001 (serial from ADS-B) flew Eglin AFB, FL-Rota-Kuwait Intl departing Eglin on the 04th February as RCH582.

C-32 02-4452 performed KADW-LERT with callsign VOLGA71 and LERT-OTBD with callsign RCH1048 last night.

busy times. According to adsb (and FR24) AE0446 99-6143 (no c/s given) just took off from Eglin AFB flying NW. While AE0433 02-5001 (also no c/s given) is now flying near Denver Colorado (not visible on FR24).

and according to FC earlier today THIEF75 00-9001 went from McGuire AFB to San Juan/Puorto Rico.

first time I've seen so many active C-32Bs on one day.

apparently 02-5001 went to NAS Oceana and returned afterwards to Eglin AFB.

Some pics of Eglin-based 02-5001 in March and April 2022, show it now has the same "colourscheme" as the two McGuire-based C-32B's...carrying only its serial and a US flag:

Antennas, sensors, windows and scuff-plates below the door still match 100% with N610G. Here in 2019 from a similar angle:

It still had a USAF-roundel and "U.S. AIR FORCE"-titles in January 2022: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/keyword/02-5001

From about that time it is hardly visible under its Mode-S code AE0433. In August & September 2021 it was seen using AE64F2 and AE64FC, and sistership 99-6143 used AE65E8 and AE65F1 instead of AE0446. My own Mode-S receiver usually picks up the C-32B's flying in and out of STR and RMS, but during their visits there in March and April I did not pick up a single unknown Mode-S code....so they might be operating without Mode-S at all now sometimes (I notices several C130J's overflying NL doing the same).

Btw. the two McGuire-based aircraft, 00-9001 and 02-4452, still show their regular pattern of training flights out of McGuire, and a domestic or overseas trip every now and then. 99-6143 must have been at Greenville-Majors since 24/9/2021 for maintenance/upgrades. N610G has some mode-S history around 24/5/2022, previous trip was a few days starting 16/10/2021. Last history of N226G was 17/7/2021 (makes sense with 99-6143 in GVT).

Must be Jade71 out of Tirana.

Hello all, I have been following the Gatekeepers (GKs) for about two years now and this thread was absolutely instrumental in my early days of trying to understand the murkiness that is the GK saga. There's such a wealth of information here and I honestly haven't been able to internalize all of it yet. I thought this thread was fairly dormant and just recently realized it was still active. Because there is still activity here I made an account just so I could add some new information.

As of 2023-07 Gatekeepers 00-9001, 99-6143 and 02-4452 have had their registrations removed per the new mandate from AMC. Additionally 98-0002, a C-32A was also spotted without registration"

I have included links below to posts regarding the registration removals.

This leaves 02-5001 and 98-6006 as unconfirmed but it is highly likely they have been removed from them as well. I have personally seen what ADSB claimed to be 4452 flying at an altitude low enough that I could see the registration had been removed but not low enough for me to see identifying marks. The same goes for 9001.

I hope this information is of use in your personal investigations as this thread has been of immense value in my own investigation
