Interesting Military Aircraft

[Runway 31]

Had DIRTY32 US Military, hex code AE0743 on the box started off at FL310 and lost it at FL140, any ideas?.  Now off screen.


Now got TAHOE11 hex code AE071C started at FL310 and now lost it at FL98, again any ideas?

Not overly rare but just had 2 USAF C130's in quick succession heading 105 at around FL230

92-0554 "RAVEN 43" (ADFE89)
93-1039 "REACH 218" (ADFDB9)

Both droning away to their hearts content shining nicely in the evening sun!

Just a quick heads up to anyone east of EGCC

Both landed at Mildenhall. I also picked up Raven 43 but call sign on the scanner was Reach 269.

G-275 Netherlands Air Force C130 hex code 480c04 on my box just now at FL250 squawking 6260 and showing NAF35 as its flight ID.

Also got GAF689 hex code 3f7dc1 with full positional data and but not showing its serial at FL360 routing Newcastle in the direction of Edinburgh.

Thanks for the reply Alan, most appreciated.

Likely to be a CL60 using yet another newly-minted "tactical" code.

Thanks Dave, as you say most likely.

Anyone ever seen any US Army Black Hawk MH-60 helicopters? There are three of them which are stopping over at my local airport (CYBW) on a reported installation flight to Alaska - I only know this because I have taken pics of them and heard from the firefighters at the airfield (colleagues of mine; I'm a firefighter in a nearby rural area). Nothing on my RadarBox, but my location prevents me from seeing anything coming in from north and east of the airport. So I don't know if the Black Hawks are sending ModeS/ADS-B or not.

The tail numbers/CNs I found on the aircraft don't follow the usual "last two digits of year plus four-digit ID" on USAF and other US military craft. They're five digits long, with a common prefix of "24", followed by a three-digit aircraft number. The photos are available on my Flickr page at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jay911/sets/72157623725457653/

Mods, if this should be a topic of its own, apologies for the hijack and please split it off..
