I never trust the registration or picture on military aircraft - especially when the mk1 eyeball is more reliable ;)

I tend to rely on http://www.live-military-mode-s.eu/

I've got AE08EB   no further details  displayed ...could be  F15...but  airframes doesn't identify it  ..any ideas

It's a C-12 83-0494. Visually identified at EDI where it departed earlier today. His base is Abidjan on the Ivory Coast. I tracked him on Planeplotter mlat from departure at EDI to  his exit on the South Coast via SANDY at 14:14L.

AE08EB has been confirmed to be used by a C-130 of VR-53 at Andrews AFB.  On Monday it even displayed a proper callsign of TITUS01.

Indeed it was:



Not only is the aircraft type quoted incorrect for the hex code, it's a type which has never existed ! (the UC-36B was the military designation for the 1935 Lockheed 10E Electra).

I despair ...

Although on my Radarbox it was listed with no registration or photo, an unknown.  But then my Navdata database was built from scratch from other sources (GAS, Aerodata, etc.).

EDIT: My preferred source for military (http://www.live-military-mode-s.eu/) has AE1191 identified as:
          Serial: 03-0016
          Type: UC-35B / F-15E
          Operator: 2-228th Aviation

Although even GAS have this one wrong!!!

HI i reported this as a UC-35B though the RB picture said UC-36B I see a photograph of one of the 35bs leaving Mildenhall on an ther site but the tail number is not the same as this one???

If this is a C-130 I'll eat my antenna. :o)

I can trump that John. AE12A5 AC-130U 89-0501.

This Spooky Gunship named 'Gunslinger' is up from the Hall. Must have slipped in un-noticed by me - drat! another photo opportunity missed.

He's going to Keflavik via ROBIN POL MARGO.
