Interesting Military Aircraft

Interesting combination of US Mil Aircraft on box:-
AE1290 97-0024 Talon71 MC-130H
AE0814 00-0178 RCH HD 2 C17
AA4CD0 N763BK RCH811 767-3Z9 XL Airways

Query a civ using a RCH flight ID??
Last 2 using Civ Squawk codes - Missed the one for Talon!!!

It's pretty common to see civvies doing charters for the US military and using REACH or RCH callsigns. If I recall, I had a World Airways MD-11 overhead last night with an RCH callsign.

In another thread there's mention of a Flyglobespan 767 doing a charter for the RAF and using an RRR callsign.

North American and North West operate RCH flights on behalf of AMC. You'll also probably catch an Omni Air DC10-30 now and again.

Cheers, it's popped up on libhomeradar now, contact @2039

Had a look back through the log and also noticed JrGloit's Tonkas with different callsigns @1645UTC:

3EB0B4 c/s Puma21
3EB560 c/s Puma22

Pity the Mode S logging doesn't include the squawks yet
