A6770A N5155A  Beech Super King Air 200C floating around Bogotá.  Mode-S only.  Starting altitude 8000ft suggests it came out of El Dorado (SKBO).

Registered to Aviation Specialties in Beltsville, MD and alleged by some to be a CIA aircraft used in "extraordinary renditions".

picked up a Russian Sukhoi Su-25T helicopter at 10:38 over south lincolnshire today

Was he invited or just testing eastern radar?

[RodBearden]

Have you got a mode-S code for that, Puddy?

Sukhoi don't make helicopters!

I agree, sounds like the spurious aircraft details problem again.

And I don't see the point of posting under "Interesting Aircraft" without quoting the hex code, which would at least give us a clue as to what was really picked up!

A5E280 N47892 Unknown US Department of State (Mode-S)

Appears to be a C-27A Spartan ferrying around American mercenaries, I mean contractors, doing Drug War things. The C-27A is a former US military version of the Aeritalia (Alenia) G.222.

Yes - it also wears serial PNC-3002 (Policia Nacional de Colombia).

In the same vein, this morning:

A259E3 N2500N C560 Unknown

Cessna Citation formerly registered to the US Department of State, transferred last year to the Colombian Air Force (still sending US Mode-S), said to outfitted with surveillance electronics for snooping on FARC and narcos.

And speaking of spooks, the day before yesterday, this flew in:

A474F7  N3867X  Lockheed 382G-44K-30  Airline: T3d

An alleged spook plane, registered to T3D&H LLC of Wilmington, DE, said to fly for the CIA (http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=N3867X). (Personally, I have no idea if that's true or not.)

Tramline,

Seen this guy a few times. According to Airframes it is c/n 23307 a B767 with ICAO code of A98391 and now operated by Skyking Airlines but according to RB it is still coming up as belonging to Scanderberg Air.

Rod, Any chance of sussing out a logo for either company ?

Cheers,

Ian

Thanks Ian,

I should have noted it came up with an 'SGB' flight number - Sky King.  Naturally, JP Fleets 2009/10 does not have it listed within their fleet :-(
