On December 15 2011 at 33975 foot heading 243 degrees.

96143 appears to have been back at Stuttgart on 10-Jan-12.

From the photos posted above on its December visit are we any the wiser? It seems to have 12 windows on the starboard side plus a blank, so does this make it a contender for N610G in disguise? If so, it's re-stickered overnight in the US for the European trips as N610G is fairly active in the US at the moment based on hex code. N226G doesn't appear to be in the wild since mid-December. 25001 has popped up sporadically.

610G and 96143 the same causes a bit off a problem, see below.
This would only be possible if they change HEX inflight, which i think is a bit unrealistic.

N610G A7EF54 Baltimore MD, US 04-Feb-11 12:59:03 AM
99-6143 AE0446 Northeast MD, US 04-Feb-11 1:09:57 AM
99-6143 AE0446 Woodbridge VA-1, US 04-Feb-11 1:10:09 AM
N610G A7EF54 Baltimore MD, US 04-Feb-11 3:16:21 AM

I think it is funny though that these so-called "Black C-32's" show up on SBS.
This screen shot is from November 5 2011.

To make a little more interesting there is another possible COMCO bird which i have not seen anywhere,but doing some checking i found N144DC is a B-757 registered as the others,Serial is 22191.Most sources have this listed to Starflite International was registered April 9,2009 to them and quickly April 23,2009 was re-registered to L-3 Capital LLC.For those with ADSB the code for this one is A0B1DA.
Also two previous L-3 Advanced Communications LLC aircraft were transferred in 2011 to the military was N440AN is 09-0015 and was N701TW is 09-0016.

02-5001 is doing approaches at KHSV at this time,got him on radar and on log.I will pull up his code and post it,AE0433.He is using SHARP 83 as callsign.

On March 26 N610G landed at KIAD at about 1700 local. It came from the south.
At 1800 local 02-4452 was heading NE along the Delmarva peninsula.

On March 27 N610G departed KIAD in the afternoon and headed west.
On March 29 around 0000 local it was heading NE along the VA coast at FL290.

Normally when it's in my area it's going to/from KORF.


Something I've found interesting it that several times N610G has displayed a flight ID consisting of "L" followed by four numbers. It's either that or nothing.

In August 13, 2011 I logged 99-6143 with a flight ID of L6958. Only two other times have I logged it with a flight ID, both time "ALLIED 1" which is like a default.

610G and 96143 the same causes a bit off a problem, see below.

Pieter,

Or maybe not unrealistic. As I'm writing this I just noticed something odd. Could just be a coincidence, but I think it's weird.

On March 28 I picked up 99-6143 displaying ALLIED 1 at 20:34:32 local at FL300. The final mode-S message was received at 23:55:24 at FL290. No ADS-B so I don't know where it was. But at 23:55:05 I begin logging N610G at 28975ft above Norfolk,VA. It continued at that altitude until 00:16:26 at which point it was over Snow Hill, MD and out of my range.

My mode-S reception is such that I should have been receiving the N610G signal well south of Norfolk at FL290. Yet it appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

02-5001 departed KADW around 1020 local. Currently heading due north past the P-40 restricted area at FL260+. Callsign sounded like ERIN22.

1035 local, little bit of a turn to the west at FL300 and still climbing. With ZNY on 128.575

[freqhopping]

02-5001 has just departed KADW. Callsign is DOTTY90. Heading SW.

Looks like it may have come into KADW around 2030 local.

02-4452 is currently heading northeast over the Delmarva Peninsula, maybe heading into McGuire AFB.

Has anyone heard anything in regards to 00-9001? She's been out of action since December and since that time the 150th SOSs other C-32B 02-4452 has not ventured far from conus. Only 99-6143 from Eglin has been overseas with 02-5001 from Pope also just staying within the US.

Seems since 00-9001 has not been available to the 150th 02-4452 has stayed close to home. Maybe 00-9001 is getting some work done?

Hi,
Did some checking at flightradar24 etc, and 09001 (rather then 00-9001...) indeed seems to have been at KGVT( Greenville) for modifications or maintenance etc. for about 6 months.
It was airborne again at the 1st of June at 15.30UTC for a local testflight in the west of Texas around Flighlevel 150 all the time.
It then returned back to KGVT and was last at flightradar24 at 18.25UTC at 6 miles final KGVT again.
On the 4th of June you can see it departing KGVT at 15.15UTC heading for McGuire where it landed just before 18.00Utc.

Also logged AE0433 25001 at the 6th of june, it flew from Warner Robinson to McChord, it sounded like Trolly44 or Tolly44 when he landed at McChord at 18.15 Utc.

24452 is flying very often on local missions out of McGuire with Terra callsign.
96143 however hasn't been noted for the last two months, so either in maintenance or in disguise ?

Pieter,

[sullis585]

Thanks Pieter.

Noticed that too with 09001 finally headed back to McGuire. She has done a couple of cross country missions the last couple of days and is currently in California being last picked up near San Diego in the evening of 8th June.

Also heard 25001 on the 6th into McChord, agree, sounded like Tolly 44 to me.

Maybe with 09001 back in action 24452 will get a bit of a break. Hopefully they will start to head across the pond again soon as it's been a while for either of these two.

Heard 02-4452 yesterday (16th around 18:30z) into Reno as Armet or Ahmet 61....heard on the Reno Live ATC feed

02-4452 departed KADW a few minutes ago. It's been in and out of there a few times today. Also logged 9001 today but I lost that log data when I shut down my Radarbox, so I don't knows any details.

[freqhopping]

Logged 02-4452 earlier today heading west over central Pennsylvania. Had a flight ID of L2659, a flight ID like N610G has a history of.

About 30 minutes ago 01-9001 was heading up the VA coast towards McGuire. No flight ID.
