Re: New USAF C-32A !
Sure for the Fiscal Year .. really odd why a „new“ C-32 pop up with a 10 Years old Fiscal Year ??!! No one know this serial no books even Joe Baughter the Amerian Serial Specialist have it!!! Did you check the Datablock that its really a 2009 FY ? I believe more its 2019 OR coud it be that a spooky C-32B is reserialed again and painted in regular colors??

Unlikely as the C-32B's have RR engines and the C-32A's have P&W engines.ATC86ETAR wrote:could it be that a spooky C-32B is reserialed again and painted in regular colors??
Has L-3's N903TB been seen recently? Reg canx 3-jul-2018 but its transponder still showed 19-sep-2019, on-ground at Greenville-Majors. Acc note at https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1619993 it was to become a VC-32A.
09-0018 looks nicely to fit behind 09-0015,0016,0017 but those three second-hands appeared around 2010~2012. 19- probably makes more sense.
Edit: hexcode AE4AEC according post on mode-s.groups.io .

VC-32A does not exist, they are simply called C-32An5205e00421 wrote:Unlikely as the C-32B's have RR engines and the C-32A's have P&W engines.ATC86ETAR wrote:could it be that a spooky C-32B is reserialed again and painted in regular colors??
